Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe said that his government is considering full implementation of the 13A amendment to the constitution. The amendment is part of a 1987 agreement between India and Sri Lanka to give wider rights to Tamils. Their participation in power has to be ensured. India has said that it is necessary to give rights to Tamils for social solidarity in Sri Lanka. India has been pressuring Sri Lanka for years to implement this agreement signed between the then Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi and Sri Lankan President Jayawardene in 1987.

 

Social Justice Commission will be formed soon

Speaking on the occasion of the Thai Pongal festival celebrated by the Tamil community, President Wickremesinghe said, Social Justice Commission will be set up soon.
