Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa on Thursday slammed Sri Lankan Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa for his remarks that those who supported the Sri Lankan Tamil cause in the state were doing so for political mileage.

Replying to a calling attention motion moved by the Opposition parties, including DMDK and the two Left parties, she rejected Rajapaksa's remarks that the state Assembly's resolution seeking economic sanctions on the island nation for alleged human rights violations, was passed for political advantage.

“The Centre should condemn Rajapaksa through an envoy,” she said.

Recalling the earlier resolution seeking sanctions on Sri Lanka to rein in Colombo, Jayalalithaa said it was passed based on a UN committee report on alleged human rights violations during the conflict between the army and LTTE.

She assured members that her government would continue with its diplomatic steps on the Sri Lankan Tamils' issue and would not relent till a lasting solution was found.

Simple Solution is minding your own business, madam. People in Tamil Nadu suffering from poverty, please help them first.

All Sri Lankan with you def.Sec. Speak to the world. Sinhalese didn't do any wrong to the tamil people. They have equal right here in Sri Lanka, they can live anywhere in Sri Lanka. They can learn in Tamil, even Tamilnadu tamils cannot learn in Tamil. The Lady going crazy about the Sri Lankan development.

Srilankan Population is 20,238,000 and unemployment rate is 5.4%. Where Tamilnadu population is 72,138,958 and unemployment rate is 4.6 %. Look who is far behind.
