Puthiya Tamizhakam, a Dalit-based political party, today appealed to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, to send a delegation comprising DMK MPs and MLAs to Sri Lanka to study the real situation there, in the wake of reports about increased attack on Tamils.
A detailed report, then can be submitted to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for taking measures to find a permanent solution to the decades-old ethnic issue in the island nation, party founder-president K Krishnasami told reporters here.
Accusing Sri Lankan Government and the Army of abducting and attacking innocent Tamils, Krishnasami said that in the name of eliminating LTTE, they should not take revenge on Tamils who 'were not at all involved in violence'.
To draw the attetion of both the Centre and Tamil Nadu governments to find a permanent solution to the issue, the party would stage a demonstration in front of Parliament and the residence of Manmohan Singh in Delhi on Nov six, he said.
The demonstration would be apolitical in nature and he would write to former prime minister and BJP senior leader A B Vajpayee and other political party leaders to take part in it, Krishnasami said.
