LTTE should lay down arms: India says

Indian Foriegn Minister Pranab Mukherjee made a statement on Wednesday that LTTE should lay down arms and allow civilians to safely flow to Srilankan government controlled areas. Further says that LTTE had done much damage to the Tamils in Sri Lanka and they should stop killing innocent Tamil civilians who are trying to escape from LTTE areas. Currently LTTE is holding innocent civilians including women, children and elders as a shield to protect from Srilanka ARMY attacks and to hide behind and counter attacks.
LTTE has hugely lost it's grounds in recent past and shrinks LTTE held areas as the results of Srilankan Security Force operations. Now they limited to a very small area which used to protect themselves and attack SL ARMY by holding civilians.
Mukherjee added that India will not interfere on decisions taken by sovereign government of Srilanka and agrees with the current measures taken by Srilanka government. The Main point of his statement that we should emphasize here is "India continued to support a negotiated political settlement within the framework of an undivided Sri Lanka acceptable to all communities".It clears that India much preferred to an undivided and United Srilankan State.

Meanwhile those statements of Pranab Mukherjee, has shaken the Lok Sabha yesterday. Tamil Nadu members including PMK, MDMK, and AIADMK made great protest over the Indian Governments views of Srilanka's issue. They emphasized that India should intervene on srilanka government to stop the North security force operations. Further they says that "It speaks the language of the Sri Lankan government".

Mukherjee also said that India government has taken their maximum attempt to protect displaced Tamil civilians of North and continued to provide them food and security.
