The JVP today claimed that former Thailand Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was in Sri Lanka last month for a “private agreement” with the government to back the campaign of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
There was no immediate confirmation from the Government about the visit of the former Thai Prime Minister, but the JVP produced a document to prove that the former premier arrived on December 12 and passed through the VIP Lounge at the Bandaranaike International airport. He had left the following day.
