CPM demands unbiased action on LTTE supporters

CHENNAI: The CPI (M)’s Tamil Nadu unit yesterday demanded “unbiased action” against those supporting banned outfits or supporting armed rebellion for the Sri Lankan Tamil cause.
Referring to the arrest of MDMK leader Vaiko and party’s presidium chairman M Kannappan for allegedly making pro-LTTE speeches, the Party’s state unit secretary, N Varadarajan, said such action should be “unbiased,” in an apparent reference to some Tamil film directors reportedly demanding separate nationhood for Tamil Nadu.
In a statement here, he said demands for a separate Eelam as the permanent solution for the ethnic strife and a separate Tamil Nadu “will do no good for the Tamils in Sri Lanka.” He called for unity among “democratic forces” in the state which favoured a political solution to the problem in Sri Lanka through dialogue.
The party also condemned secessionist demands made by some persons.(News-Dailynews)
