Bharatiya Janata Party’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi has assured that no military support would be given to Sri Lanka in the event of his party coming to power, Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) general secretary Vaiko said on Sunday.

Addressing reporters, Mr. Vaiko said that he recently met Mr. Modi in Chennai and explained the atrocities unleashed by the Sri Lankan Army on Tamils. “Mr. Modi has given an assurance that former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s decision of no military support would continue,” he said.

Asked whether he would contest the Lok Sabha elections, he said the party’s general body would decide on it. He also said that demanding justice for the Sri Lankan Tamil, a protest would be organised worldwide on February 26. “Protest would also be held outside the residence of British Prime Minister David Cameron and other leaders.”

Mr. Vaiko said in a statement that UK’s Channel-4 was likely to release new evidence that would prove allegations of serious war crimes in Sri Lanka. He said the footage contained images of how 15 innocent Tamil women were sexually abused and murdered during the last phase of the war. (The Hindu)
