Dissanayake was elected on September 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar became the first foreign dignitary to meet Dissanayake after the presidential polls. He extended the invitation to Dissanayake from the Indian prime minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The party had held that the 1987 Indo-Lanka Accord which came as Indian intervention to solve Sri Lanka\u2019s Tamil minority demand for political autonomy was a sell out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
