Colombo (News 1st) – Namal Rajapaksa took to Twitter to criticise the UNP, JVP and TNA politicos meeting with the international community rather than catering for the needs of the Sri Lankan community.

Interesting to see @officialunp JVP & TNA politicians meeting with the int. community. Perhaps if more effort was given toward meeting with the people & communities of #lka & paying heed to their hope for #elections, #SriLanka can finally achieve its fullest potential. #LetMeVote

This tweet caught the attention of the Canadian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, David McKinnon who replied to Namal.

You might ask some of your @PodujanaParty colleagues who they’re meeting with.

To which Namal Rajapaksa replies to the Canadian High Commissioner; ” @McKinnonDavid thank you for your engagement. Recalling that #lka remains a sovereign nation & home to a brilliant people, the leaders of #SriLanka – whoever they may be, should focus on engaging with Sri Lankan people & solving their concerns, including their call for elections”
