An Indian foreign ministry spokesman denied any expulsion and said that transfers were routine decisions. Rajapaksa, voted out of office in the 8 January election, told Reuters he did not know all the facts while the new government in Colombo has said it is aware of the reports but cannot confirm them.
But several sources in both Colombo and New Delhi said India was asked to recall the agent in December for helping gather support for joint opposition candidate Maithripala Sirisena after persuading him to ditch Rajapaksa’s cabinet.
A sketchy report in Sri Lanka’s Sunday Times newspaper on 28 December said that “links with the common opposition” had cost India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) station chief his job in Colombo.
