India has stressed to the Sri Lankan government "the necessity" of reaching a political settlement acceptable to all the communities there, including the Tamils, PTI quoted India’s External Affairs Minister S M Krishna as saying today.

"The government is of the view that the conclusion of the military operations in Sri Lanka provides an opportunity to make a new beginning and pursue a lasting political settlement in Sri Lanka," External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said while replying to a written question in the Rajya Sabha.

He said the way forward lies in a peacefully negotiated political settlement within the framework of a united Sri Lanka acceptable to all the communities there, including the Tamils.

"The necessity of reaching a political settlement has been stressed to the Sri Lankan government," he added.

    India should stop pressurizing Sri Lanka, in this manner. It is, frankly, an inteference in the affairs of another sovereign nation. Political settlements, and the like, will evolve, as they have done so in the past. Such matters cannot be implemented at the 'drop of a hat,' just because India 'insists.' India, herself, is attempting to appease her own politicians and needs to be cognizant of this fact, as it is patently obvious. Hands-off Sri Lanka, India!

    You have played a 'double-game' and have not given genuinely ...

    Friday, 05 March 2010 12:07 AM

    We Sri Lankans cannot go on forever, without a 'political solution.'

    Read Rajavarodayan Sampanthan's statement on India and its role, in the conflict, the promises given before operations; and the victory after the victory; before elections and after elections. The leaders make a beeline to New Delhi now they say it differently. If India is not interested and follows a hands off policy also she is blamed if she responds to the calls of the leaders of both the racial divide also it is wrong. Funny politics, geopolitik!

    comments from indian ministers are galore.
    But no one wants to "Bell the Cat".

    high time someone comes forward for a peaceful settlement
    and make the majority and the minority understand the
    cordial living which was there before 1983.

    I hope that the day will dawn soon.

    india is playing the double game like MR. Mr is not genuine to solve tamil's and muslims problems. it is sinhala only regime, india just time to time telling this stories. now tamil would not come out to fight for their equal rights. they are fed up of war. innocent tamils and sinhala/muslims were killed by Praba and other rebel groups time to time. and govtments of sri Lanka also killed to stay in power. now it will be another problem will start. when? that is among sinhala people. so solve tamil problem then you can solve other problems easily

    External Affairs Minister S M Krishna’s findings that there is necessity for reaching political settlement in Sri Lanka should not ne ignored.

    We need to remind India that necessity never made good bargains. It is incomprehensible India ignored all types of bargaining oppertunities and now moaning about necessity.

    However, as a friendly neighbour and as a big brother, India has cause for concern.

    We know how take care of our country.. get lost India

    you are the people who developed terrorism in Sri Lanka

    Thursday, 04 March 2010 09:03 AM

    Well..every thing is settled now in SL within SL context.

    If indians do not have enough internal work, they can dance at any length as per their wishes on myths or dreamsas usual,within Indian perimeters, as Sri Lankans we have no time to spare pl.

    Thinking of dropping another load of parippu?

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 10:32 PM

    It's the typical Indian v. Sri Lankan politics?

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 09:53 PM

    We Sri Lankans need to change our attitude towards foreign, democratic, nations.

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 09:43 PM

    'Wolf, in sheep's clothing'!

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 02:24 PM

    Is it posible?

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 08:56 PM

    Thank you for your interest, but we listen only to the Chinese.

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 08:52 PM

    Why not tell India to sort-out their mess first, before poking their nose into other's business ...

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 08:06 PM

    Mr. Krishna, there is no point in merely 'insisting.'

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 06:59 PM

    At least India is speaking on behalf of those suffering ...

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 06:56 PM

    India can request, but can't demand or insist. Sri Lanka, will find an appropriate solution.

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 06:55 PM

    The lack of political reasoning, in the past, has created violence; exodus of people; etc. Here's to future unity, with dignity, in a diversified society!

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 06:48 PM

    Will Sri Lanka ever listen ?

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 06:44 PM

    India is correct. A genuine political settlement is necessary, for our country.

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 06:40 PM

    INDIA, HANDS-OFF!

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 03:33 PM

    S.L.is not a part of India but a country with soverinity and has a legislature elected by its Citizens which is the Decision making body. In other words India shut up and mind your own problems.

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 03:21 PM

    Political settlement acceptable to all? Not under this Govt. India is a democratic country but Sri Lanka is not.

    Wednesday, 03 March 2010 03:15 PM

    INDIA IS ONLY INTERESTED IN HER OWN SUPER POWER STRATEGY, TO ACHIEVE THAT STATUS SHE WILL STOOP TO ANY LEVEL IN THE REAGEN.IF WE LOOK AT THE SRI LANKAN ETHNIC ISSUE INDIA IS THE ROOT COURSE.ALL THESE STATEMENTS REAL HUMBUG.
