DMK President Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi condemned the “harsh and crude remarks” against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister posted on the Sri Lankan Defence Ministry website on Aug 1.
He said in a statement,
“There are reports in the evening dailies today that in an article on Tamil Nadu fishermen issue in the official website of the Defence department of the Sinhala chauvinist regime, it has been written in an uncvilised and demeaning manner about Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
Though we have a lot of differences with the ADMK leader, from the attitude of the Sri Lankan government demeaning and belittling the letters written by her to the Prime Minister on the fishermen issue anyone can understand the nature of actions of the Sinhala regime .
The DMK has never approved of such remarks in bad taste and never failed in condemning such bad language. Political parties in Tamil Nadu have all along been telling the Indian government not to act in favour of the Sri Lankan government on this issue.
India should treat the remarks as not just against the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister but the Prime Minister of the country. It should intervene and convey its strong condemnation to the Sri Lankan government”.
PMK founder S. Ramadoss said the Indian government should summon the Sri Lankan High Commissioner and demand an apology from Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the country’s Defence Secretary.
Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) leader B.S. Gnanadesikan said it was mischievous on the part of the Sri Lankan government not to prevent such posts on the official website.
MDMK leader Vaiko decried the article saying it revealed “the perverted mindset of the Sri Lankan government.”
CPI(M) State secretary G. Ramakrishnan said it was condemnable to ridicule a letter written by the Chief Minister to the Prime Minister.
