The Sri Lankan military's article ridiculing the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, has sparked cross party outrage in Tamil Nadu.
“India should treat the remarks as not just against the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister but against the Prime Minister of the country. It should convey its condemnation to the Sri Lankan government,” DMK president, and arch-rival, M. Karunanidhi said in a statement, The Hindu reported.
The PMK founder, S. Ramadoss, MDMK leader Vaiko and the CPI secretary, G. Ramakrishnan echoed his comments, with Ramadoss urging New Delhi to summon the Sri Lankan High Commissioner and demand an apology from the Sri Lankan president.
“If Sri Lanka refuses to tender an apology, India should sever its diplomatic ties with it,” Ramadoss was quoted by The Hindu as saying.
On Friday, the Sri Lankan government was forced to offer an "unqualified apology" to the Indian Prime Minister and Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, over the derogatory op-ed article that was posted on the Defense Ministry website this week. See more here.
