A Sri Lankan government minister, today, accused the US of colluding with the Sri Lankan United National Party (UNP) opposition to force a regime change using social media, reports Colombo Page.
According to Wimal Weerawansa US embassy officials have created a plan with the UNP to create hostile public opinion against the government using social media.
Weerawansa alleged that, thousands of youth were being recruited to create an anti-government narrative in social media.
"US embassy officials are also pumping funds into what is called election observation and the Bar Association with the objective of destabilizing the government," the minister was quoted as saying.
