Colombo: Sri Lanka s Election Commission Chairman Nimal Punchihewa on Monday shot down reports of India s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) planning to set up a political unit in the island nation, saying the country s electoral law does not permit such an arrangement. Any Sri Lankan political party or group is permitted to have external links with any party or group overseas. But, our electoral laws do not permit overseas political parties to work here, Punchihewa told reporters.
Punchihewa s comments came after media reports quoted Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb as saying that the BJP was planning to extend its footprint in Sri Lanka and Nepal.
