India might send special envoy to SL
New Delhi: India is weighing various options including sending a Special Envoy to understand the humanitarian crisis confronting Tamils in Sri Lanka after the vanquishing of the LTTE.
Informed sources said that New Delhi was greatly concerned about the plight of 300,000 IDPs now living in appalling conditions within camps set up in the territory formerly controlled by LTTE. This concern had been conveyed to Colombo in strong terms.
Indications from Colombo are that President Mahinda Rajapaksa is keen to come to India at the earliest but the visit has not been formalised because India is still closely monitoring the situation in the camps, the sources said.
"We are aware that a number of foreign powers are trying to fish in Sri Lanka's troubled waters. The Chinese, for instance, are building a port. All this will be factored in India's approach," a highly-placed source said. (indianexpress.com)
