India’s Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi has pledged attention on the killings of Tamils by Sri Lanka, said the leader of Tamil Nadu’s MDMK, Vaiko.
Vaiko, whose party is an ally of Modi’s BJP, met with the future prime minister in Delhi and said he raised the issue of the previous government’s support for the Sri lankan government with Modi, reported ANI.
"He told me that the minorities within a short time will realize, I (Modi) am protecting everybody. In Kargil, where the minorities form the population, there BJP has won. And one more thing I said in this state five years back, hundreds and thousands of Tamils were massacred and brutally killed by the racist Sri Lankan government with all the logistics, support and help of the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government guided by Sonia Gandhi," said Vaiko.

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.
