Speaking to The Island, Suren Surendiran of the Global Tamil Forum, asserted that the international community and India in particular should bring Sri Lanka to its knees using measures similar to those adopted against Apartheid South Africa.
Arguing that the banning of Sri Lankan cricket players was not enough, Surendiran called for 'collective action' similar to the banning of all white South African sports teams at international events.
GTF pledged to campaign until the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh boycotted the CHOGM 2013 and the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa offered Chennai as an alternative venue to hold the meeting.
Surendiran said:
"The fact that India has voted in favour on these ‘soft’ resolutions for the second year running gives India the opportunity and moral high ground to demand that the Government of Sri Lanka act accordingly."
