Tamil Eelam Supporters Organisation (TESO) meeting held on July 16 here resolved to stage a state-wide demonstration on August 8, pressing for certain resolutions.

The meeting resolved to press the Centre to boycott the Commonwealth Head of Governments Meeting.

Indian MPs should concern with issues in India, of which there are many, instead of trying to gain popularity by poking fingers in matters that don't concern them.

Well CHOGM has no concern for Rajiv Ghandi- Jayawardena secretive accord. These should not been done n secret but had Sri Lankan peoples' concent. Will the DMK's protest go anywhere. No way. British or any other Government should not get involved in the 13th amendment. Times have changed and there should be change after the LTTE terririst war.
