Conditions need to be discussed: Sri Lanka Minister

B. Muralidhar Reddy

COLOMBO: Introducing an element of confusion about the Co-Chairs statement on the peace process in Sri Lanka, the island nation's defence spokesperson and Minister, Keheliya Rambukwella, told reporters here on Tuesday night that the Government needed to discuss the "conditions" under which it was ready to talk to the Tamil Tigers.

The Minister's stand was in stark contrast to the decision by the Government Peace Secretariat to publicise the statement of the Co-Chairs from Brussels.
