India’s new National Security Adviser Shiv Shankar Menon met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, Sunday, and discussed the resettlement and rehabilitation of displaced Tamils in Sri Lanka, the Hindu reported.

India is working with the Sri Lankan government for resettlement and rehabilitation of displaced Tamils and devolution of powers in the political arrangement that will satisfy all sections, National Security Adviser Shiv Shankar Menon said after the talks.

Talking to reporters after meeting Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi at the Secretariat, Mr Menon said it was a courtesy call and both of them discussed various issues of concern.

It was his first visit after assuming office. The Chief Minister was kind enough to receive me, he added.

Mr Menon said the Chief Minister had expressed his concern over Indian fishermen and their treatment in Sri Lanka and also the issue of the condition of displaced Tamils.

"I assured him that the Indian government would do whatever it can on these issues," he said.

India should avoid this kind of activities.

Still there are deep mistrust between Sri Lanka & India.

Sri Lanka India relations highly influenced by Russia.

Even next week Sri Lankan President visiting Russia.

Moscow always kept diplomatic push regarding ties between Colombo & New Delhi.

Sri Lankan...the sad part is..that regardless of the political scene in SL...the Lankan tamil's case is of a great concern to us...
We accepted a spectator role in the recent civil war against the LTTE...but as far as the aftermath is concerned....both Fonseka and Rajaprakasa know that it is imperative to somehow reflect on New Delhi how the whole Tamil issue is being handled as fairly as possible.

They should have discussed about how to bury the remaining tamils.

I love to see them die rather kept in prisons in the name refuge camps.
