"An LTTE plane has been shot down. This is of concern. Political solution has to be found to the LTTE issue and military action will not do."

New Delhi: India on Saturday said the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil rebels must find a political solution to their dispute and “military action will not do”.

Sri Lanka's military shot down two aeroplanes of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) flying a defiant air raid on Colombo on Friday. The LTTE air raid is of “concern”, said External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukhjerjee in Berhampore in West Bengal on Saturday.
