Krishna.    TNA Parliamentarian Suresh Premachandra speaking to the Daily Mirror  said that ministers have backtracked on their promise. “Several  government ministers including the government cabinet spokesman have  made various contradicting statements regarding the devolution of  powers. The Indian External Affairs Minister made a public statement to  the effect that during his discussions with the President, the President  had promised him that the government would implement the 13th amendment  and beyond and now many ministers have spoken to the contrary,” he  said.    The TNA MP further went on to point out that the government has to date  not given any proposal that address grievances. “We gave the government  a proposal regarding the issues related to the Tamil community in March  2010 but to this day we have not received a clear response.”         Commenting on the proposed senate council Premachandran said that the  council can be a part of a comprehensive solution but not the solution  itself. “The senate is designed to share power with a centre, but what  the people want is adequate powers to the provinces where the people  residing in provinces could look after themselves and go about with  their day to day affairs, the senate can be a part of the solution but  it cannot be the solution for the ethnic issue itself,” he said.DM</blockquote>
