March 16, 2013
The government has asked 438 arts and science colleges in Tamil Nadu to
be closed immediately till further orders as student organisations
across the state gear up to organise massive protests from Monday, reports NDTV.
The
students are demanding that India vote against Sri Lanka on a
resolution expected to be moved at a meeting of the United Nation's
Human Rights Council in Geneva this month.
The US is expected to
move the motion against Sri Lanka on war crimes and rights violations
against Tamil civilians during the final phase of the war against the
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.
