Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa said steps would be taken to make India move a resolution at the UN seeking action against Sri Lanka for “killing innocent Tamils during the war”.
At a meeting in Madurai on Friday, she said she would ensure that those responsible for the genocide are punished. The assurance comes on a day the Centre faced flak from parties and activists for abstaining from voting on a US-backed resolution on Lankan war crimes.
“When your government is formed at the Centre, India would move a resolution in the UN to get those behind the killing in Sri Lanka during the war punished,” Jayalalithaa said. She also said Tamil Nadu fishermen could carry on fishing without any trouble and the rights of Tamils would be established.
Jayalalithaa continued her tirade against Congress alleging that the Centre was meting out stepmotherly treatment to Tamil Nadu fishermen and Sri Lankan Tamils. - TOI
