Modi who begged for a meeting with Modi treated like a beggar !
(Lanka-e-News
- 14.May.2017, 11.00PM) Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi after his
arrival in Sri Lanka , following an earnest request made by deposed
president Mahinda Rajapakse met the latter on the 11th (night ) .
Based on reports from Diplomatic sources , though the meeting was short
between them , Mahinda had to face a long tirade from Modi.
After the dinner hosted by president Maithripala Sirisena , Mahinda
was given an opportunity by Modi to meet him at the residence of the
Indian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka .
Mahinda in fact secured the appointment only after making pleas to the
Indian High Commissioner .This was because Mahinda was not given an
appointment based on the agenda of the Indian P.M.
Poor Mahinda arrived to meet Modi with Gotabaya and G.L.Peiris . With
the Indian P.M. were the Indian High commissioner to S.L, Indian
security adviser Ajith Kumar Deval and foreign secretary S.Jayashankar,
and a group .
Mody who ignored G.L.Peiris and Gotabaya ,and did not speak a
word with them , spoke only with Mahinda and that was to sternly warn
him. Modi had warned Mahinda not to obstruct the development programs
of the government , and not to incite racial tensions citing the ETCA
agreement.
Modi had categorically told Mahinda not to arouse racial disharmony in order to oppose the new constitution which is being prepared to build reconciliation among the races.
When Mahinda was trying to give an answer , Modi without paying heed had forestalled it by expressing his regrets over the attempts made at Mahinda’s Galle face green May day rally to provoke the people to hoist black flags against Modi’s visit .

Mahinda who became red faced and was sweating did not know where to
hide his face . He was so panic stricken and guilt ridden he forgot
even his own cursed shawl on him which he could have used to hide his
face and wipe his sweat. Though Mahinda tried to defend himself by
explaining , it was told by one of the speakers on stage ,Modi had
disdainfully ignored him.
Following the brief 30 mins. meeting , even when he was leaving Modi did not talk to Gota or G.L.
No matter what , Mahinda who never fails to give a ‘voice cut’
even if he fails miserably in everything else , was like a dumb person
just admitted to the deaf and blind school after the meeting . He did
not utter a word about what transpired between him and Modi , after his
much longed for meeting with Modi .
