The Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization (TELO) welcomes the meeting held between the Indian Vice President and Tamil political representatives in Colombo. During the discussion, the Vice President conveyed that he had raised the long‑delayed Provincial Council elections directly with President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and urged that the democratic process be restored without further postponement.
He further assured the Tamil delegation that India will continue to stand with the Tamil people and remain attentive to their safety, dignity, and development needs, including ongoing concerns in the North and East.
TELO acknowledges this engagement as part of the broader international interest in ensuring that Tamil democratic rights, provincial autonomy, and long‑standing political commitments are upheld. We reiterate that meaningful progress requires transparent timelines, genuine power‑sharing, and the full restoration of democratic institutions.
TELO remains committed to working with all Tamil parties, civil society, and international partners to secure a just, peaceful, and democratic future for the Tamil-speaking people.
