In a tweet, Swamy noted that if the Modi Government does not follow such a measure, it will face a situation where China will be getting one more junior partner.

“Modi govt has failed in so many foreign policy issues. Let not Sri Lanka be another,” he tweeted on Thursday (30).

If "koi nahin aaya" which shows a deplorable ignorance, Modi according Russian announcement is expected to meet Xi soon brokered by junior partner Putin. If further our Ministers under US pressure drag their feet on loan to Sri Lanka of $ 10 billion it means we are sold out.
