Meet Tamil aspirations to end violence: India tells Sri Lanka


New Delhi: A Closure to the cycle of violence in Sri Lanka is only possible after initiation of a political process that allows the aspirations of the Tamils within a united country to be met, External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna told parliament here Thursday.
Krishna said that the cessation of hostilities gives Sri Lanka an opportunity to make a new beginning.
"We are convinced that a closure to the cycle of violence and terrorism that has plagued Sri Lanka requires an inclusive political process of dialogue and devolution," he said in his suo-moto statement.
The minister said that this political process had to address the "legitimate aspirations of the minorities, including the Tamil community, within the democratic framework of a united Sri Lanka".
