India advises Sri Lanka that it no longer considers the 1964 and 1974 agreements to be binding, as the implementation period had expired. Sri Lanka responds that it still considered the agreements to be in force until all repatriations were completed. At this time, 86,000 applications to the Indian High Commission for citizenship were still pending. A further 90,000 people who had been issued with Indian passports were still remaining in Sri Lanka.
