In a letter to Manmohan Singh, Karunanidhi said nearly 80,000 Tamils are still
living in transit camps and they are awaiting rehabilitation measures by the Sri
Lankan government.
"Those families who have been rehabilitated and settled elsewhere also be
provided with economic development and justice-based reconciliation to work
towards a permanent political settlement," he said.
He urged the prime minister to take up these issues during his meeting with Sri
Lankan President at New Delhi on Tuesday "as a special agenda and impress upon
him the need for earliest rehabilitation measures to Sri Lankan Tamils."
Karunanidhi said Colombo had promised to rehabilitate all Sri Lankan Tamils
living in transit camps before December 2009.
