LIVE! Jaya: Inviting Lanka prez is rubbing wounds into injured Tamil psyche
May 22, 2014
J Jayalalithaa who will not be attending Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony on Monday says the invite to Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa was tantamount to rubbing salt into the wounds of a deeply injured Tamil psyche.
BJP's ally MDMK has opposed the participation of Rajapaksa in the May
26 swearing-in ceremony of Modi, saying his presence would hurt the
feelings of the Tamil people. The DMK headed by Karunanidhi, said Modi could have "avoided" inviting the Sri Lankan President and also
that the Prime Minister should "understand the feelings" of the people
of Tamil Nadu.
