Sri Lanka minister denies agreement on demands between TNA and Prime Minister

Sri Lanka’s Minister for National Dialogue Mano Ganesan announced that Sri Lanka’s Prime Minister did not agree to the Tamil National Alliance’s demands when soliciting the party’s support to defeat the no-confidence motion.

Mr Ganesan was speaking journalists after a function in Dehiwalal, Colombo, reports dailymirror.lk.

He later tweeted "I did not decline. I only said that no new conditions were discussed or agreed. All what discussed between PM and TNA are those what were discussed right throughout last years and at the time of the commencement of the constitutional process."

Mr Ganesan’s statement comes after TNA MPs said that Sri Lanka’s prime minister agreed to their demands in return for support to vote down the no-confidence motion against him.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
