Makkal Needhi Maiam party leader Kamal Haasan met with Tamil National Alliance MP Sivagnanam Shritharan, where the two discussed the Sri Lankan military occupation of the North-East and the prospect of autonomy for Eelam Tamils.
According to a press release from the actor-turned-politician’s party, the two discussed how Tamils in the North-East are still fighting for autonomy at their meeting in Tamil Nadu earlier today.
Shritharan also spoke of the Sri Lankan military’s ongoing occupation across the North-East.
At the end of the meeting, Haasan pledged his support to the Tamil people.
Earlier this year, Haasan met with Sri Lankan officials in Chennai, as he took photographs shaking hands with Sri Lanka’s Deputy High Commissioner.
Previously Haasan has expressed his support for Eelam Tamils, sending a message of solidarity to a British hunger strike who demanded justice for genocide and even hunger striking himself in 2013.
