Opposition
wants India’s intervention
[April 25, 2003 - 10.00 GMT]
The
Peoples Alliance, the main opposition party in Parliament today said India
should play a role in monitoring the seas off the North of the Island.
“The
opposition parties view that the time has come for a change in the
composition of the Monitoring Mission,”
former Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar said addressing the weekly press
briefing today.
He
said since the naval conflicts in recent past are a regional problem, “Monitors
from India and two other countries should be invited to monitor unlawful
LTTE activities in the seas,” he added.
He
said though the matter did not come up in recent talks between the President
Kumaratunga and Indian leaders, the Opposition is confident that the Indian
Government will respond favourably to this proposal.
“We
have not yet considered who the other two countries would be,” former
minister said.
