The Tamil community in Sri Lanka has been demanding the implementation of the 13th Amendment that provides for devolution of power to it. The 13th amendment was brought in after the Indo-Sri Lankan agreement of 1987.

In his media statement after the talks, Wickremesinghe said he shared with Modi the “comprehensive proposal” he presented this week for “furthering reconciliation, power sharing through devolution and the multiple elements of the Northern development plan.”

The Sri Lankan president arrived in Delhi on Thursday on a two-day visit.

“We also talked about reconstruction and reconciliation in Sri Lanka. President Wickremesinghe told me about his inclusive approach,” Modi said.

“We hope that the government of Sri Lanka will fulfill the aspirations of the Tamils; will drive the process of rebuilding for equality, justice and peace; will fulfill its commitment to implement the 13th amendment and conduct the provincial council elections,” he said.

“And will ensure a life of respect and dignity for the Tamil community of Sri Lanka,” Modi said.

Talking about the 75th anniversary of India-Lanka diplomatic ties, Modi announced implementing various projects worth Rs 75 crore for the Indian-origin Tamil citizens of Sri Lanka.

“Also, the Indian-origin Tamil community is completing 200 years of its arrival in Sri Lanka. I am happy to say that on this occasion, various projects worth Rs 75 crore will be implemented for the Indian-origin Tamil citizens of Sri Lanka,” he said.

“Along with this, India will also contribute to the development programs in the northern and eastern region of Sri Lanka,” he said.

Wickremesinghe said he shared with Modi his comprehensive proposals for reconciliation, power-sharing through devolution, and the Northern development plan.

“I also shared with him the comprehensive proposal I presented this week for furthering reconciliation, power sharing through devolution and the multiple elements of the Northern development plan,” the president said.

“I have invited all party leaders in Parliament to work towards consensus and national unity on these measures. Thereafter the Government will place the relevant legislation before Parliament,” he added.

Wickremesinghe said Modi has “expressed his solidarity and goodwill in these endeavours.”
