November 30, 2013 23:27

India today asserted that it would not rest till Sri Lanka implemented the 13th amendment and insisted on an "elaborate, independent and genuine probe" acceptable to the international community into the 'genocide' by that government during the civil war in 2009.

"There are attempts being made there for not implementing the 13th amendment in the Sri Lankan Constitution. Efforts are being made to dilute many provisions by the Rajapaksa government. The Tamil National Alliance is opposing it...the 13th amendment cannot be diluted. India has been and will continue to insist for its implementation," Finance Minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said.
