India must intervene, says Lanka Tamil MP

The Indian Government should intervene in the ethnic strife in Sri Lanka, said Tamil MP N K Sivadhilingam here on Friday.

Tamils, Muslims, French and Sinhalese were living in Sri Lanka. But the government wanted non-Sinhalese out of the country. So, they were killing Tamils under the cover of the war between the Sri Lankan troops and the LTTE, he told reporters here.

Earlier, he attended a meeting organised by the Pattali Makkal Katchi and the Viduthalai Chiruthaikal Katchi here.The Tamil National Alliance Party leader said the Lankan Army had started air attacks on the Tamils due to the recent support from Pakistan and China.

The Chinese Government had supplied a three-dimensional radar to the Lankan troops. He criticised Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa for not heeding India’s advice and continuing with the attacks on Tamils.
