On the other hand, Sri Lanka too has raised objection over the comments of Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb.
Sri Lanka’s Election Commission Chairman Nimal Punchihewa has shot down reports of BJP planning to set up a political unit in the island nation.
He said that 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,” Nimal Punchihewa said.
