The Communist Party of India (CPI) said the Indian central government should take efforts towards bringing about a political solution in Sri Lanka that will see the Tamil people on the island granted equal status.
CPI Tamil Nadu Secretary R Mutharasan told reporters that despite the high expectations for reconciliation held after the defeat of former Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa earlier this year, key issues remain unsolved.
Tamils had still not been granted equal status with the Sinhalese said Mr Mutharasan, as he called on the Indian government to “take serious efforts” to bring about an amicable political solution.
We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
