Indian President Pranab Mukherjee claimed that India was 'making progress in our engagement with Sri Lanka' on the issue of equality for Tamils, when addressing the Indian Parliament on Thursday.
Speaking to Parliament, Mukherjee said,
"We are making progress in our engagement with Sri Lanka, including in our efforts to resettle and rehabilitate the internally displaced persons there and to ensure a life of peace, dignity and equality for the Tamil people".
Mukherjee did not comment on the upcoming resolution on Sri Lanka at the UN Human Rights Council, but added that India had played a crucial role as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council to promote international peace and security.
