Karunanidhi meets Sonia
9 October 2010 12:52 pm - 17 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi on Saturday requested UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi to "use her good offices" to impress upon the Centre to urge Sri Lanka to bring an end to the "untold misery" of Tamils in camps in the island nation.
The sooner they are rehabilitated and allowed to return to their places, the better it would be to enable them pursue their normal life, Karunanidhi said in a memorandum submitted to Sonia at the airport here during her brief stopover en route to Puducherry and Tiruchirapalli.
Referring to the recent visit of Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao to Sri Lanka, Karunanidhi said she herself had put the number of war-displaced Tamils in camps at 30,000 and said the figure could, "in all likelihood", be more.
"The Sri Lankan government must be urged to start the political process without further delay," he said.
"In as much as the hapless Sri Lankan Tamils continue to suffer in the camps for the last 18 months, there must be some firm political commitment to end the sufferings of these people."
"I, therefore, request you to impress upon the Government of India to urge the government of Sri Lanka to rehabilitate the people now in the camps and bring an end to their untold misery," he said in the memorandum.
Later, he told reporters that his meeting with Sonia was a "brief one".
Karunanidhi was accompanied by some of his cabinet colleagues, including son and Deputy Chief Minister M K Stalin, and his grandnephew, Union Textiles Minister Dayanidhi Maran. (Sifynews)

many people dubt whether your words match with your intentions/actions. if that so, you have lost credibility and respect among Tamils. Why do you need to please Sonia who was behind the scene in supporting crime against humanity in Sri Lanka. You and your family were also participants along with Sonia allies.

Its time that we look into Untild missaries of Indian Tamils too. Rawana may help this time.

Have you assessed the real situation in the places concerned. Do not issue baseless testaments to the media. It is unbecoming for a (matured) politician. The government is doing it's best to deal with the situation. No country has ever been perfect in dealing with similar situations. Sri Lanka is perhaps the best in the world. Come and see! Long life to you so long as you are genuine.

Just the same way we are protesting on the SF issue We Sri Lankans should take up this issue of IDP INSTEAD OF LETTING FOREIGNERS TO TALK ABOUT IT.

He is preparing for the 2011 Assembly Elections. Although he is projected to return to power, on account of rapid all round development, he wants to ensure that rabble-rousers do not punch holes in his success story. He is the happiest that there is nobody around now to claim the title of Leader of the Tamil nation!

Looks like KN has suddenly woken up from a deep sleep.!!!

Karunanidhi's words are not much cared about by the Central govt of India, as we can see. He goes running to the centre whenever his own party's popularity goes down in Tamil Nadu.
