DMDK president Vijayakanth has accused the State and Central governments

October 31, Chennai, - DMDK president Vijayakanth has accused the State and Central governments of not ensuring a ceasefire in Sri Lanka.

‘The Sri Lankan Tamils issue came in handy for Tamilnadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi to divert people’s attention from power cut, price rise and other problems....

He enacted a drama by announcing the resignation of Tamil Nadu MPs if the Centre did not ensure ceasefire in Sri Lanka in two weeks (by 29 October).

But neither has the war ended there nor have the MPs resigned,’ the actor-politician said in a release here.

‘While India wants to retain its hold in South Asia by helping Sri Lanka with arms, Sri Lanka would use the same against innocent Tamils in the name of war against LTTE.’

And neither would India ask Sri Lanka to stop the attacks. And all this while, the Tamilnadu government would be shedding crocodile tears,’ he said.

As for contributing towards the Sri Lankan Tamils Relief Fund, the DMDK would make its contributions to the district collectors, Vijayakant said.
