Union Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar has distanced India from the political turmoil in Sri Lanka.
Mr. Jaishankar told journalists here on Tuesday: "The situation in Sri Lanka is very sensitive and complicated. Many developments are underway in Sri Lanka, even as we speak. Sri Lankans are our neighbours and friendly people. India wants to help them tide over their current economic travails. India's focus is on the economic aspects. Other issues are not bothering India."
When asked about the alleged Chinese trespass on India's border along the Line of Control (LoC), Mr. Jaishankar said: "Chinese incursions in 1962 or Chinese incursions in Rahul Gandhi's mind?. I don't see anything particularly new on the front."
