Sri Lanka must make efforts to provide its Tamil minority “a life of peace, dignity and equality”, Indian President Pranab Mukherjee said today. Mukherjee told parliament that India was making progress in its engagement with Sri Lanka.

This involved “our efforts to resettle and rehabilitate the internally displaced persons there”, he said, referring to thousands who were pushed out of their homes due to the war against the LTTE, IANS reports.
