With the atmosphere remaining surcharged in Tamil Nadu over the Sri Lankan Tamils issue, members of some pro-Tamil outfits today hurled stones Madurai at the office of Mihin Lanka, a low cost airline based in Colombo, police said.

Activists belonging to pro-Tamil organisations including Aathi Thamizhar Peravai and Naam Tamizhar Iyakkam earlier blocked the road demanding that the Union Government vote against Sri Lanka at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) meeting in Geneva, officials said.

They also shouted slogans against the Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa for alleged war crimes against ethnic Tamils.

The glass windows of the office, located in a city hotel, were damaged, and further inquiry was on, police said, adding, 30 people have been arrested.

Members of the Aathi Thamizhar Peravai also attempted to block trains at the railway junction here, but were detained by police.

Yesterday, about 40 students of a government law college here allegedly damaged a party flag post and notice board of Janata Party office here, protesting its chief Subramanian Swamy's recent meeting with the Lankan President. (Out Look India)

Don't just bluff. They never beg us to lift the travel restriction, its our business community and travel agencies affected more than them.

Shifaz Wednesday, 06 March 2013 11:31 AM

Lol even they realise the government is using our money for a waste product like Mihin Lanka and hence they're protesting! #respect

What a pity , our govt is facing more trouble after civil war was over.

Nodrog Wednesday, 06 March 2013 10:35 AM

Is that so? Then why did India come on their knees to us when we issued the travel warning to TN. Didn't the TN business community lambast the centre for not taking precautionary measures?

Dolwatta Wednesday, 06 March 2013 10:25 AM

Just shows how stupid these TN people are. What about the Tamils in the hill country. Nobody talks about their problems.

Kondebendapucheena Wednesday, 06 March 2013 10:22 AM

Time to curtail business activities in Tamil Nadu and restrict passge and issuing of resident visas to TN business folk in Colombo.

mail_guy Wednesday, 06 March 2013 10:12 AM

We can easly see from this that whatever bad happens inTN, Sri lanka still need TN for business.

bigsam Wednesday, 06 March 2013 10:04 AM

If Mihin closes, this might be a blessing in disguise for the people of Sri Lanka

MirakRajBanda Wednesday, 06 March 2013 10:01 AM

Ohh really??? It's good to know that Mihin Lanka still exists!!!
What a waste of tax payer’s money.
