SRI LANKAN TAMILS SHOULD GET EQUAL RIGHT AS OF EQUAL CITIZENS
The Sri Lankan government’s decision to stop combat operations against the LTTE comes as a relief to all peace- loving people even though it falls short of a complete ceasefire. India along with of the International Community should rush food and medical aid to the grief- stricken people coming out of the no- fire zone. The Sri Lankan government should give equal rights for their Sri Lankan Tamils. The Tamils should get a better deal and equal rights as equal citizens. To day they are refugees in their own land. Sri Lankan government should provide equal legal safeguards to Tamils and Sinhalese.
Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa has made it clear that his governments key objective is getting the civilians out from the clutches of the LTTE. He again said that the choice before the LTTE was either surrender or face the Army.
