Carve out Tamil Eelam from Sri Lanka: DMK MP
April 25, 2012  14:46

India should prevail upon the UN for carving out a separate Tamil Eelam from Sinhala-dominated Sri Lanka as the "tyranny" in the Tamil areas was continuing,DMK said in the Lok Sabha today. 

 

Raising the issue during Zero Hour, party leader T R Baalu said armymen were roaming around Tamil habitats in Sri  Lanka and "thousands of people have been kept behind barbed wire fences". He said "tyranny is going on, it is continuing. Indo-Sri Lankan accord is not being ratified and 13th Amendment (devolution of powers to ethnic Tamils) is not being implemented".
