Cross party British MPs urge action over Sri Lanka's political crisis
A cross party group of British MPs, the All Party Parliamentary Group for Tamils (APPGT) have urged the UK government to take urgent action over the Sri Lanka's unfolding crisis following the sacking of the prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe and appointment of the former president, Mahinda Rajapaksa in his place.
In a letter to the British foreign secretary, Jeremy Hunt, the APPGT questioned what action the government had been taking to ensure political stability on the island.
"Given the UK Government's long history with Sri Lanka, we would be grateful if you could outline the UK Government's assessment of events in Sri Lanka. Please outline steps the Government is taking to all for political stability in Sri Lanka.
