( August 24, 2014, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Narendra Modi has spoken. And his words are no different from Manmohan Singh’s.
During his meeting with the TNA Mr. Modi has laid down the parameters of his administration’s preferred solution to the Lankan ethnic problem. A political package which builds on the 13th Amendment, within a united Sri Lanka ; meaning, in essence, 13+ up to federalism; not 13-, which is the status quo; and not confederation, let alone separation.
