“ Sri Lanka vehemently reiterates its rejection of the allegation of genocide in Sri Lanka in a statement issued on 23 July 2024 by the Canadian Prime Minister. This position has been previously reiterated to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau”, a Press release said.
“This allegation arising from local domestic vote-bank politics is not conducive to unity and communal harmoy in both Sri Lanka and and Canada’, the release added.
