Tamils staged a silent demonstration at Jaffna Bus Station on Saturday, calling on the visiting Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, to pressure the Sri Lankan government to address immediate Tamil needs in the North-East.
Ending the demonstration with a march to hand in their demands at the Indian High Commission in Nalloor, the demonstrators called for the release of those that surrendered at the end of the war, an appropriate response to the plight of the disappeared, resettlement of those displaced by the war to their homelands, action to address the basic needs of those that have been resettled, an increase of the Indian housing scheme budget, and action on the Indian Tamil fishermen issue.
Members of the Tamil Nation People’s Front (TNPF) were also present at the protests.
