18 June 2013 06:34 am

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said India would convey its views on alleged attempts by political parties in Sri Lanka to repeal the 13th Amendment to its Constitution, after considering its implications. “While this is a matter on which a decision will be taken by various political parties within Sri Lanka, we will certainly consider its implications and make known to the Sri Lankan authorities our views in the matter,” the PM said in a letter to DMK chief M Karunanidhi. Mr Singh said the Centre had consistently worked for all communities in Sri Lanka to find their rightful place in the country. (Source: The Statesman)
