Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, who was in Delhi on Monday, met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, Defence Minister A K Antony and Overseas Indian Affairs Minister Vayalar Ravi and submitted proposals
which can be taken up with Saudi Arabia as a permanent solution to the problem.
