Sri Lanka's NPC opens Pandora's box (South Asia Monitor)

The Northern Provincial Council led by Chief Minister C.V.Wigneswaran has again opened a Pandora’s Box by adopting a resolution in the form of a set of proposals to be submitted to the Government to be incorporated in the proposed new Constitution. This resolution has been adopted in the Council against the backdrop of two similar controversial resolution – “Sri Lanka’s genocide against Tamils” and “The resolution on the need for an international mechanism” - passed by the same Council last year. The essence of the current resolution is to constitute two linguistic States – one for the predominantly Sinhala speaking areas and the other for the predominantly Tamil speaking areas in the North and the East.
