Karuna slams Centre for denying visa to docu filmmaker Callum Macrae

November 06, 2013 18:21

DMK chief M Karunanidhi today described as "cheap tactics" the reported denial of visa to a UK documentary film-maker who had released videos of alleged war-time atrocities against Tamils by the Sri Lankan Army.

India had reportedly denied visa to Callum Macrae, whose recent video claims that a woman Tamil TV presenter who had served in the LTTE was executed after being captured by the troops and not during the final battle as claimed by the government. She was found dead with her clothes stripped.

"Denial of visa for Callum Macrae is not just against freedom of expression but also cheap tactics", the DMK leader said citing a Tamil anecdote.
