Indian PMK leader S. Ramadoss today demanded that India should start work on forming an independent Tamil Eelam state in Sri Lanka.

Citing the formation of Bangladesh out of East Pakistan in 1971, Ramadoss said: ‘India should take preliminary steps for the formation of Tamil Eelam, carving out the areas where Tamils live.’

He said as per a UN report, more than 40,000 Tamils have been killed in the final phase of the war between Sri Lankan military and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 2009.

Ramadoss said the UN report had exposed Sri Lanka’s deliberate bombing of civilians moved to secured areas and hospitals, cutting out food supplies and sexual assaults on Tamil women.

He said Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa should be tried by the international courts.

On Monday, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi told reporters that he does not differ from Ramadoss’ view that Rajapaksa be declared a war criminal.

Asked about Tamil Eelam, he said: ‘These are all international issues. One has to take into consideration India’s security and good relations.’ (IANS)

    Guru, go and live in Tamil Nadu is your so desperate for a separate state. I'm sure Sri Lanka will do just fine without an illiterate person like you...

    prasan Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:34 AM

    Guru..Failure of Tamils is stinking corrupted politicians in Madras, put to dustbin by North Indians.Clear the garbage, then you will get a pleasant Eelam Homeland in TN, not anywhere else.

    Louisa Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:31 AM

    How desperate Guru you are? You seem to be running behind every Dick, Tom & Harry who speak in favor of an Eelam. Please dont think you would get it on a platter. Sri Lanka belongs to all the people who are born in Sri Lanka. So please learn to share.

    Self-Rule of combined North/East within Unitary state is
    a must..

    IN YOUR DREAMS !!!!!

    dias Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:22 AM

    Yes very good if it is in india in tamil nadu,

    Janaka Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:48 AM

    Thank you Ramadoss. We know where your country is. Nadu in Tamil means Country. Then what is the country of Tamils'. Obviously it is Tamil Nadu. So ask India to separate Tamil Nadu where more than 50 million Tamils live...........

    Rosh. Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:48 AM

    Mr Ramadoss - Why you all speak only Tamil people killed ... Why dont you'll talk about people killed in the colombo ...
    The UN Report says LTTE killed TamilPeople ... Why you domt talk about that.
    Mr Ramadoss - You have no right to talk about a seperate state in another country ... you look after your country ... we will looks after ours...

    AJI Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:51 AM

    Sri Lanka should help tamils to form an independant tamil state in India making tamilnadu separated from India. We should get support from Pakistan and China to do that.

    sri lankan Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:31 AM

    y cant u ppl start your own country in india. u ppl dont have the guts to ask form in india but so worried of sri lanka .

    saman Tuesday, 26 April 2011 11:34 AM

    ha, ha, Ramadoss, you can propose to form a tamil elam in India and not in Sri Lanka.

    Sri Lanka is belong to everyone who borns in Sri Lanka

    Dreamers only can achieve.

    backstreet boys Wednesday, 27 April 2011 03:52 AM

    better do reasonable and practical for your people, instead saying things to keep your designation.

    hotchocolate56 Wednesday, 27 April 2011 05:59 AM

    Please keep your paws off us. If you want Eelam, do it in TN!!

    Gura Wednesday, 27 April 2011 06:23 AM

    If you need another 100,000 tamils to be chopped off , you may put your effrot to try this fantasy.

    Nan Wednesday, 27 April 2011 06:35 AM

    how about you carve out kashmir and hand it over to the pakistani's and carve out TN as a separate state for tamils?

    RW Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:20 AM

    Try to do it in Tamil Nadu because Sri Lanka is a very small country and no space to devide. Tamil Nadu is about 10 times bigger than Sri Lanka. Do not try to use UN report for your political advantage.

    chamil Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:02 AM

    Why don't you try it in Tamilnadu ?

    Msing Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:07 AM

    Dream on........

    android Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:10 AM

    why not form tamil eelam in Tamil-Nadu ?

    Tony Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:17 AM

    You could have your indepedent Tamil state in India but, for sure not in Sri Lanka Ramadoss!!! Tamils are well taken care in Sri Lanka and they have a better life in Sri Lanka.

    M-J Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:15 AM

    OHH...COME ALONG WITH KARUNANIDHI.......HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE DESTINY OF YOUR FRIEND WHO TRIED TO FORM A TAMIL EELAM IN THIS PARADISE.......BETTER TRY IN TAMIL NADU...NOT HERE....

    Maru Yaka Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:05 AM

    Better suggesion would be that you grant citizenship to all those who want to join your TE in INDIA and shelter them all there. Since you are already in existance!

    lankaboy Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:07 AM

    first give kasmir to pakistan, utharakhand to china west begal to bangladesh still we wont give our country

    dement Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:20 AM

    Oh please.. mind your own business S. Ramadoss.. first look into your own problems. The slums in India, the income disparity, corruption etc etc.. solve those before poking your head into another mans land.

    Guru Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:02 AM

    Well said Ramadoss, now keep working towards achieving it.

    Sundar Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:09 AM

    When the results for the TN Assembly election will be declared on May 13, you will know how many people in TN value your words. Keep off Sri Lanka!

    Sinhalaya Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:26 AM

    Sri Lanka is not a country of yours greedy but it is a countriy of Sinhalalese where anyone can live peacefully!!!

    Sinhalaya Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:27 AM

    By all means form a Tamil Eelam in Tamil Nadu, we no qualms about that at all.

    Mushi Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:30 AM

    Keep dreaming ....

    Saman Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:29 AM

    Yes you have bigger portion from India for 60 m Tamils from all over. If they will have an inch from SL , that day will be the starting day for the 61 cracks all over India. Karunanidi knows that.

    Sam Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:16 AM

    Did you even see the sri lanka ?

    Mala Sirimanna Tuesday, 26 April 2011 10:30 AM
