A Sri Lankan organisation has said they will attack Indian Tamils who visit Sri Lanka as revenge for attacks on Singhalese in Tamil Nadu.
Leader of the Ravana Balaya, Saddhatissa Thera, said the Indian government was scared of political parties in Tamil Nadu and said unless the safety of Sri Lankans in Tamil Nadu is assured by the Indian High Commission in Colombo, it will “have to think of a system to protect people who visit Sri Lanka from Tamil Nadu”.
“It’s enough that we have waited like cowards,” he said.
“If we don’t get any relief, we will be forced to harass businessmen who come to Sri Lanka from Tamil Nadu.
“We will have to suspend films imported from Tamil Nadu. We will definitely implement our programmes…Don’t make us angry.
“Keep this in mind. If you assault our Sri Lankans who visit India, the day is not long that (Tamil Nadu people in Sri Lanka) will be assaulted.”
