(January 27, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) The Art of Living leader Sri Sri Ravishankar said he plans to visit Sri Lanka and meet President Mahinda Rajapakse and LTTE leader V Prabhakaran separately to try and bring about a ceasefire between the two sides.
Alleging 'innocent Tamils' were being killed there, he told reporters here that only a negotiated settlement could bring peace to the war-torn country.
Very soon, I plan to meet Rajapakse and Prabhakaran separately to hold talks with them to bring about a ceasefire, he said. Accusing political parties in Tamil Nadu of enacting a drama on the Sri Lankan Tamil issue, he said the state government should prevail upon the Centre to intervene and protect Sri Lankan Tamils.
Earlier, Ravishankar, who arrived here by a special helicopter from Bangalore, visited the Mandapam Sri Lankan refugee camp and spoke to the inmates.
He also distributed clothes to the refugees. Later in the evening, participating in a function at a school here, Ravishankar asked the participants to observe a five-minute silence to express solidarity with Sri Lankan Tamils. - Sri Lanka Guardian
