COLOMBO:  Former Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa has blamed India, the US and European countries for his humiliating defeat in the January election.

"It was very open, Americans, the Norwegians, Europeans were openly working against me. And RAW (India's Research and Analysis Wing)," Rajapaksa told the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post in an interview."Both the US and India openly used their embassies to bring me down," Rajapaksa said.

 

A media report from Colombo soon after Rajapaksa's defeat in the January 8 election had said that a RAW official was instrumental in uniting rival political parties - the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) and the United National Party (UNP) - against him during the polls.

 

In his interview to the Post yesterday, Rajapaksa said, "I asked the Indians, 'Why are you doing this? It's an open secret what you are doing'. I had assured them that I would never allow the Sri Lankan soil to be used against any friendly country, but they had other ideas," he said.

He also defended Chinese infrastructure projects which were started in the country during his regime.

 

Asked if the docking of two Chinese submarines in Sri Lanka last year had raised India's hackles, Rajapaksa said: "whenever Chinese submarines come to this part of the world, they always inform India.

 

"They should be thankful to China for the help they extended; instead these people are treating China like a criminal," he said.
