A senior BJP official said today that the party will not support a separate Tamil Eelam.
Speaking to reporters in Bangalore, Venkaiah Naidu said a solution to the problem has to be reached within a united Sri Lanka and there was no question of supporting a separate Tamil Eelam, as the party was against division of Sri Lanka.
"If any solution to the Sri Lankan Tamil problem has to be arrived at, it should be within the framework of the concept of united Sri Lanka," he said.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
