Jayewardene's United National Party, approved two bills to implement the July 29 peace agreement. The bills establish provincial councils giving minority Tamils greater say in local government. The approval followed denunciations of Jayewardene by the opposition and sabotage attempts by radicals in the majority Sinhalese community. The councils are called for in a peace accord signed last July by Jayewardene and Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi to end a four- year insurgency by Tamil militants in the north and east of the island. Heavy combat between Indian forces and Tamil rebels in the north continued into last week, when most rebels retreated to villages.

India's role in the island war stems from its position as a regional power and the existence of a 60 million- strong Tamil minority in southern India. The Parliament vote was 136 to 11. Jayewardene's party has a five- sixths majority in the legislature. One of the measures would amend the island's constitution to allow creation of the councils and the other establishes the mechanics for doing so.
