The Sri Lankan Government is ready at any time to hold talks with the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), said leader of the House and Irrigation Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva, Colombo Page reported on December 31. The Minister was responding to the allegation made by the TNA that the Government was not serious about talks with the TNA. The Minister told The Island newspaper that the Government had not decided on any amendments to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. If any amendments to change the 13th Amendment are needed they will have to be discussed at the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) proposed to solve the ethnic question, the Minister said. As reported earlier, the Government has appointed the PSC to arrive at a consensus on a political solution with all parties represented in the parliament. The TNA has earlier said that the party would not participate in the PSC as it would be another "time-buying tactic" of the government. "If the PSC has the intention of thrashing out a solution and has an agenda for (arriving at a political solution), we are ready to consider it. But, we are not ready to get cheated again," the TNA leader R. Sampanthan had said when he met India's External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna in New Delhi in October. The Tamil party is yet to name its representatives to the PSC.
