TNA keen to discuss federalism with India

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) stated that it was keen to engage in talks with the international community, and India in particular, over Sri Lanka's proposed new constitution, reports the Daily Mirror.

TNA deputy leader and head of the Ilankai Tamil Arachi Katchchi (ITAK) Mavai Senathirajah said that though talks had not yet been scheduled, his party was keen on a federal solution to the island's long running ethnic conflict.

“Even in my latest speech in parliament I stressed the need to devolve even financial matters to the North,” he said.
