Tamil activists demand speedy resettlement of refugees in Sri Lanka
Chennai:Activists of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) a regional party, staged a demonstration here on Monday demanding the Sri Lankan Government to speed-up resettlement of the Tamil civilians displaced by civil war in that country. The demonstrators
appealed to the international community to announce former Srilankan Prime Minister
Ranil Wickramasinghe and former Army Chief Sarath Fonseka as war criminals.
Speaking
on the occasion VCK president Thol Thirumavalavan said : "Ranil Wickramasinghe
and Fonseka are playing political role, political play. They are not pro Tamils
so we accuse Fonseka also for war crimes." In Srilanka's northern tip Jafna over
300,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) are living in camps. Though the Sri
Lankan Government settled more than half of them but still 110,000 are remaining
in camps.
