Former Minister - Mervyn Silva has mocked Finance minister - Basil Rajapaksa, saying the latter had not been given an appointment to meet the Indian PM - Narendra Modi during his visit to India.
Addressing a media briefing at his residence, Mr. Silva asked, "Did Basil go and meet Modi?" before letting out a loud hoot.
He claimed that this was a trick to secure India's support for the upcoming UNHRC session in Geneva next March.
