'Very sensitive': Jaishankar on Lanka crisis and political asylum to Rajapaksa

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar described Sri Lanka situation as "very sensitive and very complicated" and said India's focus right now is on the economic aspects of the neighbouring country. The Minister said New Delhi's commitment and support is for the friendly people of the island nation and it wanted to help them to go through a very difficult phase of their life. When asked about the possibility of India offering asylum to key members of the erstwhile powerful Rajapaksa family, who were attempting to flee in the face of massive public anger against them for mishandling the economy that has left the country bankrupt, the Minister said India's focus right now is on the Sri Lankan economic situation and it was not involved in other matters.
