The Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) and other organisations staged demonstrations across Tamil Nadu yesterday, demanding an international probe into the 'methodically organised genocide' committed by the Sri Lankan government and a referendum within the Tamils on the island and Tamil diaspora on creating a new state of Tamil Eelam.
Protestors made further calls for the removal of Sinhalese residential colonies that had been established in previously Tamil areas in the North-East of Sri Lanka.
Elaborating on calls for a referendum on Tamil Eelam, the protestors urged the United Nations to recognise the state of ‘Tamil Eelam’ as the homeland of Tamils on the island and directly supervise a referendum on the Tamil national question that incorporated diaspora Tamils across the world.
Calls for an international investigation into the genocide of Tamils and a political solution in Sri Lanka have been growing in Tamil Nadu.
