Lanka in sovereign action against terror group - Congress

The Congress said there should be no interference with the military action in Sri Lanka against LTTE but the party was for providing all possible help to civilians and the internally displaced.

"Congress stands for every possible material and logical help to all civilians and internally displaced persons," party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi told reporters.

The party, however, refused to take a stand on the military action against the LTTE by the Sri Lankan Army.

"Congress believes that sovereign action against a terrorist organisation, which remains banned by Indian laws, should not be interfered with by another sovereign country," Singhvi added.
