Supporters’ Organisation (TESO) today announced holding a series of events over
the Lankan Tamils issue, including picketing of the Sri Lankan Deputy High
Commission in Chennai on March 5.
TESO will also hold a meeting
in Delhi on March 7 in which various political parties and human rights
organisations are expected to participate, TESO member and Dravidar Kazhagam
president K Veeramani told reporters after a TESO meeting chaired by DMK chief
M Karunanidhi.
“On March five, a picketing of
the Deputy High Commission will be held. On the same day DMK and VCK MPs will
stage a protest outside the Parliament,” he was quoted as saying by PTI.
The March 7th TESO meeting
would discuss various matters pertaining to Sri Lankan Tamils, including their
livelihood issues, he said.
He slammed the alleged killing
of slain LTTE chief V Prabhakaran’s 12-year-old son Balachandran and said this
was indicative of “war-crimes” by the army during the last phase of the Eelam
War.
