As many 45 persons belonging to different pro-Tamil outfits were on Monday arrested for attempting to picket trains and bus-stand in nearby Tirupur and Udhagamandalam, demanding that India should not participate in the CHOGM scheduled in Sri Lanka this month.

Twelve workers of Adi Tamilar Katchi attempted to barge into the Tirupur Railway Station but were prevented by police, before they could reach the track, police said.

Similarly 15 activists of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi were arrested, when they attempted to stage rail roko, while 18 workers of Naam Tamizhar Katchi workers were arrested for attempting to stage picketing near Charing Cross in Udhgamandalam, police said. (PTI)

How hilarious! TN can barely look after the SL tamils in refugee camps there and they're so concerned about tamils in SL? Even today we read how TN citizens attacked some SL refugees.

Disturbing public by protests does not help. Instead go to other states of India and explain the atrocities committed by SL government to the Tamils. Especially the states where the congress are strong. This will sure change the attitude of some congress leaders who are the supporters of SL.

Those incidents are isolated issues and does not affect the relationships between TN Tamils and SL Tamils.

Maybe you should ask the SL tamils how they feel about this? Better still ask the Jaffna fishermen how they feel about their tamil brethren in TN?

Yes, go forth and spread your lies about genocide and other forms of harassment. There are millions of gullible people in India silly enough to believe them.

Saskia Tuesday, 05 November 2013 07:15 AM

How can you say those allegations are lies without an investigation?
