The Communist Party of India (Marxist) passed a resolution stating that the situation in Sri Lanka remains a “matter of concern”, calling for the restoration of lands seized from Tamils and the implementation of the 13th amendment.
The 21st Congress of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Sunday said that though the Sri Lankan government has “promised and has taken certain steps... it is a matter of concern that the old situation continues by and large”, for the Tamil people on the island.
The resolution called for the withdrawal of the Sri Lankan army from Tamil regions of the island, and for displaced Tamils to be resettled in their lands.
“The government of India must utilize the new political situation in Sri Lanka and undertake diplomatic measures to help achieve the above and to resolve the issue of fishermen of Tamil Nadu through speedy mutual talks,” concluded the resolution.
