The Chief Minister of Sri Lanka’s Northern province, >C.V. Wigneswaran’s appeal to India for a positive role in the Sri Lankan Tamil issue is timely (Nov. 14). Sri Lanka appears to be outmanoeuvring India at every stage and going back on its promise to rehabilitate the Tamil population. The current one-man show in Sri Lanka as far as governance is concerned might give India limited space to work things out. A broad-based and strong democratic opposition to the President is the need of the hour. But will it materialise?

The last time India acted with its conscience to support the LTTE resulted in its biggest diplomatic blunder. We lost a Prime Minister. The Sri Lankan Tamils need to sort out their problems with the Sri Lankan government.
