General Secretary of the Professionals’ National Front (PNF), Engineer Kapila Perera said that the MCC compact was not a grant, but a part of the Indo-Pacific strategy pushed by the US and India.
Perera said: “The MCC is part of their strategy to use Sri Lanka and other nations for military and strategic purposes.
