Lanka's first elected Tamil CM to be sworn in tomorrow
Colombo: Sri Lanka's first elected Tamil chief minister C V Wigneswaran will be sworn in by the President tomorrow after his party secured an emphatic victory in the historic provincial polls in the former LTTE
Khurshid is scheduled to meet President Rajapaksa, his counterpart G L Peiris, Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa and newly-elected members of the council, officials said.
Rajapaksa, whose party has denied allegations of voter intimidation, has accused Wigneswaran of raising hopes of a separate Tamil state before and after the election victory.
During Khurshid's visit, India's continuous demand of full implementation of the 13th amendment, a byproduct of the 1987 Indo-Lanka Accord, is expected to feature in discussions with the Sri Lankan leadership.
