The Tamil Nadu party, PMK on Monday urged India's central government to stop giving Sri Lanka new arms and military aid, the Business Standard reported.
Stating that India was intending to "give Lanka new war planes, arms, tanks and anti-aircraft weapons system," Mr Ramadoss said, "there is no doubt that such weaponry would be only used to annihilate Tamils. Thousands of reasons can be listed to deny supply of weaponry to Sri Lanka."
Calling on the Indian government to adopt such a policy, the PMK leader, Ramadoss said that the visit of India's army general Dalbir Singh to Sri Lanka was a "matter of concern".
Stating that there was nothing wrong in travelling to another country in itself, "however, the country of his travel [Sri Lanka] and the intention of his visit is a matter of concern," Mr Ramadoss added.
