Q. Therefore, if there is uniformity in thinking of the Congress Party in Tamil Nadu as well as the Congress Party nationally, are we to assume that the Congress Party as a whole is supportive of the position you have taken at the state assembly that there should be a ceasefire and a negotiated settlement?
A. Yes. Certainly. Q. In that case Mr. Thangabalu, how would the Prime Minister and the Congress Party now deal with this situation in view of President Mahinda Rajapakse`s rejection of a ceasfire?
A. Because the Congress Party has been in position, and we as a very senior and seasoned party in the government in India and long-standing, we know and we have been negotiating with various governments and various issues. That`s why we said that our political stand was very clear. Our stand is negotiated settlements through political dialogue and we are discussing with Sri Lanka the means of dialogue. Now it is in the top level. The President and the Prime Minister have been talking. We urge the Rajapakse government particularly Mr. Rajapakse, as our Prime Minister requested to think over and see that a lasting solution is found quickly under his leadership. He had also said that he wanted a settlement for the people and he has his problems with the LTTE. We, the Tamil Nadu people by and large want a ceasefire.
