The Sri Lankan government is going back on agreements signed with India, Japan and the US and that's a "serious mistake," former Prime Minister of Sri Lanka Ranil Wickremesinghe has said. In an exclusive interview with WION's Executive Editor Palki Sharma, Wickremesinghe spoke about Colombo's recent decisions on aid and infra projects with India, Japan and the US vis a vis the deals with China. "We planned out several connectivity projects and power projects, infrastructure for the future and Chinese were interested in some of these. Mr Wickremesinghe said, "if you go by the criteria for political responsibility or the criteria for criminal responsibility, there's no such thing as lax attitude. The interview aired on WION's flagship primetime show Gravitas at 9 pm IST on Wednesday, Feb 24, 2021.
