Tamilians increasingly becoming the ''target'' in Sri Lanka.
in.news.yahoo.com, August 9
Tamil ministers convey concern to Sri Lanka. The Tamil Nadu political parties in the UPA alliance today conveyed their concern over the worsening situation in the island nation to the Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Mangla Samaraweera. They said they would not endorse violence from any quarters and the ethnic issue should be resolved through dialogue, but were concerned about Tamilians increasingly becoming the ''target''.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi yesterday voiced concern in the state Assembly, saying, ''We cannot tolerate Tamils being killed and made to suffer in Sri Lanka.'' Karunanidhi had also said that the ban on LTTE is ''debatable''.
Maran is said to have echoed Karunanidhi's view to the Sri Lankan Foreign Minister today. But, both the DMK and PMK ministers told the Lankan minister that they were not supporting bloodshed and violence from any quarters. Dialogue was the only way to solve all the issues, they impressed upon the foreign minister.
In his meeting with Samaraweera, E Ahamed conveyed India's position that there was no military solution to the problems and efforts should be made to resolve the ethnic issue through dialogue.
