The leader of the MDMK called on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa to pass a resolution calling for an international accountability mechanism for the massacres of tens of thousands of Tamils in Sri Lanka.
Vaiko told The Hindu that he had made the request to the Chief Minister, adding,
“If such a resolution is passed, I will be the first person to support the same”.
Earlier the MDMK chief had spoken out against a proposed Sri Lankan domestic mechanism, with a party memorandum saying,
“Tamils have been demanding an independent international investigation into the genocide of Tamils by the Sri Lankan armed forces. We have demanded that the forces deployed in the North and East of the island be withdrawn.”
