According to secret correspondence with the State Intelligence Service (SIS), ‘two strong Western nations’ and several INGOs are the background instigators of unrelenting anti-government protests on the island, reports Uthayan.
The Sri Lankan Ministry of External Affairs is reported to be paying extra attention to the matter as internal investigations take place.
There has recently been a spate of protests by fishermen and farmers, students and lecturers, the opposition and not least the Tamils.
Western nations and INGOs have been accused of aiding demonstrators with funding and other assistance to carry out protests.
The government is treating this ‘conspiracy to overthrow the regime’ with extreme caution.
The SIS findings have been communicated to Sri Lankan diplomats around the world, all of whom have been advised to stay alert against the Western conspiracy to destabilise the nation.
Apparently, the government is much better equipped to debunk conspiracies than address the grievances of its citizens.
