India expects Sri Lanka to "act decisively" to achieve a "political settlement based on the devolution of power' announced the External Affairs Ministry in a statement made Sunday on the release of the LLRC report.
Urging resettlement and normal civilian life, India continues to avoid the issue of accountability and justice.
The ministry's spokesperson, Vishnu Prakash, said,
"The LLRC report has underlined that the present situation provides a great window of opportunity to forge a consensual way forward towards reconciliation through a political settlement based on devolution of power."
"Implementation of assurances to ensure speedy resettlement and genuine reconciliation, including early completion of the process of the return of IDPs and refugees to their respective homes, restoration of normal civilian life in affected areas would mark a major step forward in the process of reconciliation."
"[India] takes note of the assurance given by the Government of Sri Lanka in Parliament about implementation of many of its recommendations."
