Indian Congress party MP Sudarshana Natchchiappan speaking at the Settikulam IDPs camp on Wednesday said that the visit of the Indian delegation helped to understand all different stands on the Political parties in Sri Lanka.

“We spoke to most political parties in the country and through that dialogue we were able to understand the stand that these parties take on certain issues. This understanding has been very helpful,” he said.

The MP also went on to point out the visit helped the delegation understand the views of political parties on the LLRC report as well. “Representatives of parties shared their views with us with regard to the LLRC report and its implementation. This helped us understand the differing views with regard to the report. The visit provided a good platform to share the views of our delegation with the Sri Lankans and vice versa,” he said.

The MP also said that all their requests to the Indian High Commission in Colombo prior to the visit with regard to the people they wanted to meet and the places they wanted to visit were arranged with no hassle.

MP N.S.V Sitthan speaking to the media at the IDP camp said that the Lankan govenrment had promised the visiting Indian delegation the speedy resettlement of IDPs. “There are currently around 6000 IDP and the government promised us that these IDP will be resettled in their original homes by June,” he added.
