Over 200 held for protest near Sri Lankan embassy in Chennai
Tense situation prevailed at Nungambakkam in the Chennai city yesterday, after members of Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam held a protest in front of the Sri Lankan deputy high commission.
The Indian media reported that the cadres demanded for an inquiry into the deaths of Lankan Tamil refugees. Speaking to reporters, the party’s general secretary Kovai Ramakrishnan said, “There should be an international inquiry into the suspicious deaths of 104 persons in refugee camps”.
Stating that there is no difference between the functioning of the erstwhile Mahinda Rajapakse regime and that of the incumbent Maithripala Sirisena, he said, “Both the government function against the interests of the Lankan Tamils”.
Seeking safety of the Tamil community in the island nation and in camps, Ramakrishnan said, “The international court of law should investigate into the deaths of the 104 persons after the 2009 Lankan war, as doubts continue to linger if the deaths were caused due to vaccination or other foul motive”.
Even as the protestors attempted to march forward into the embassy, the city police put a check and apprehended them. As per sources, about 200 members were taken to custody by the police.

These tamils around the world does not seem to want any peace in Sri Lanka. My3 has been bending over backwards trying to please the Tamils but unfortunately they will never be happy until they get their separate state. Hope MY3 and RW realize that that no matter what they do the Tamils around the world will complain not because their are injustices to the Tamils in Sri Lanka but becuase we killed their dream of a separate state along with that barbarian Prabhakaran.
Thank you for your analytical observations, Mr S Fernando.
If the Tamils will never be happy (your deduction, S Fernando), because “we (wonder who the ‘we’ are?) killed their dream of a separate state along with that barbarian Prabhakaran” (what has happened, has happened and cannot be reversed), why not make them happy by helping them to realise their dream?
They always talk about the death of these Tamils. What about the barbaric action imposed by heartless Tamil cowards on our Sinhalese people. Tamil tigers was the only terrorist organization in the world that attacked children. Don’t forget the bus of innocent people these Tamil bastards captured , tortured and killed.
All the communities how ever small have a prime minister and a state except these Tamils. . If these Tamils want a prime minister go to Tamil Nadu and ask the Indian goverment for a independent state.
Well done Ranjith. I toltally agree with you on this one. AS forVic who ever you are my friend that is one dream that will always remain a dream. Their is no way this dream will come true. But keep on dreaming if that makes you happy.
And as Ranjith says try Tamil Nadu. That might work. Or ask you Aunty Jayalaitha who is always attacking us to help you.Good luck.
Now Mr S Fernando . About this Jayalalitha.
One time she made silly remark of Sinhalese on this site. Unfortunately they did not publish my reply.
I said look Jayalalitha. This time I forgive you. if you make a another silly comment like this I will remove your sari and your elephant size knickers and hang you from a tree.
By the way Mr Fernando lots of people agree with me all the time for what I say on any subject.
