India to consider citizenship to SL Tamil refugees - Home Minister

 

The Central Government of India would consider a proposal by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi to grant Indian citizenship to Sri Lankan Tamil refugees living in the state, said Indian Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram.

"We have received a letter (from the state government) in this regard and the Central Government would look into it," said Indian media quoting the Union Home Minister.

The matter would be considered after holding talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and External Affairs Minister S M Krishna, Mr. Chidambaram said.
