Bharatiya Janata Party’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi has assured that no military support would be given to Sri Lanka in the event of his party coming to power, Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) general secretary Vaiko said.
Addressing reporters, Mr. Vaiko said that he recently met Mr. Modi in Chennai and explained the atrocities unleashed by the Sri Lankan Army on Tamils. “Mr. Modi has given an assurance that former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s decision of no military support would continue,” he said.
Mr. Vaiko said the Permanent People’s Tribunal on Sri Lanka found the island nation of committing “genocide of Tamil people”. The Congress-led government at the Centre had all along been a mute spectator to attacks on Indian fishermen.
He also said that demanding justice for the Sri Lankan Tamil, a protest would be organised worldwide on February 26. “Protest would also be held outside the residence of British Prime Minister David Cameron and other leaders,” Vaiko was quoted as saying by The Hindu.
