In a statement, Dr. Ramadoss said that it has been China’s long-term dream to keep India in check by taking over the Hambanthotta port. It has managed to take control of the Hambanthotta Port and the adjoining 15,000 acres and has announced that it has sovereignty over the area. “The only reason this has happened is due to the wrong foreign policy decisions taken by India. We must consider Sri Lanka as China’s friend,” he said. Dr. Ramadoss said that India must strengthen the hands of Sri Lankan Tamils and push for a criminal investigation against Sri Lanka of the final stages of the war, at the United Nations.
