The Sri Lankan government has again requested the TNA to engage in talks to discuss power sharing, but only through the controversial Parliamentary Select Committee.
"We invite the TNA to join the PSC as it is the only forum where we can discuss matters relating to power sharing with the participation of all stake holders. Going behind external elements is useless" said government spokesman and Media Minister Keheliya Rambukwella.
"The Parliamentary Select Committee comprised all political parties belonging to different ethnicities to discuss an inclusive power sharing mechanism but they have so far refused to do so. We are prepared for discussions so all we can do is to ask them to participate again,"
Last year the TNA said it had no faith in the PSC and has until now refused to join it.
