'The 13th amendment, is not a solution. We see it as the basis for a solution. We spoke with Indian representatives regarding the manner in which the government is acting to destroy the 13th amendment and invalidate its powers, and the injustices that our people are facing. We spoke about militarization, resettlement, and the problems that are being faced by farmers and fishermen who are unable to till their lands or work on the beaches. We also pointed out that a situation has arisen where the people are unable to live on their own lands. The Indian Prime Minister promised us that the Indian people and the Central Government will not leave the Tamil people to despair.'
