U.S. Senate Committee urges Sri Lankan govt to hold LG polls without delay

U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has urged the Government of Sri Lanka to hold “free and fair” local elections without further delaying the matter.

In a tweet, the chairman of the committee Senator Bob Menendez denounced any effort to take away the voice of the people of Sri Lanka as “undeniably undemocratic” and “a direct violation of Sri Lankans’ rights”.
