Suresh Premachandran, Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP, has said that international intervention is needed to reach a political solution in Sri Lanka, reports Uthayan.
In response to questions on whether the TNA would participate in the upcoming Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC), Premachandran stated that international influence would be essential to negotiating a political solution with a government that shows no intention of power-sharing.
He further stated that attacks to the 13th amendment, the introduction of the 18th amendment and the Divi Neguma scheme would not have been introduced had the government been genuinely interested in a political settlement.
Premachandran also commented on the Chief Justice impeachment saga, saying that the state of the country's justice system was indicative of the kind of political process that could be expected for the Tamil issue.
