Coordinating Secretary Lakthilaka refutes claims that President named RAW at Cabinet meeting
President Maithripala Sirisena's Advisor/Coordinating Secretary, Shiral Lakthilaka, has denied media reports that the President named the Indian Intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) in his remarks at a cabinet meeting regarding an alleged plot to assassinating him.
“The President had spoken in general terms about secret services of countries attempting to assassinate leaders. This happens even in America, the President said, and added that the Prime Minister of India might not be aware of it. There was no mention of RAW at all,” Lakthilaka was quoted as telling a foreign correspondent.
Indian newspaper The Hindu first reported that Sirisena allegedly shocked his cabinet by accusing neighbouring India of plotting to assassinate him on the eve of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe’s visit to New Delhi.
