AIADMK, DMK on same page

Amid the prolonged din over the coal scam, there were some rare moments of unity in Parliament on Tuesday when MPs of both the AIADMK and DMK voiced their protest against Lanka, albeit on different issues.
While the AIADMK protested in the well of the House, the DMK issued a statement against the training of Lankan army personnel in Indian soil.
The AIADMK’s protest was against senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj’s invitation to Lankan President Rajapakse for the foundation stone laying function for a Buddhist education centre at Sanchi in the BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh on September 21.
The AIADMK MPs were seen waving placards demanding that Swaraj withdraw the invite.
The party also warned of an agitation if Rajapaksa came on the invitation.
Interestingly, Swaraj, who was present in Lok Sabha at that time, seemed to be busy reading when the AIADMK MPs trooped to the well of the House.
“The controversy could have been avoided. The AIADMK is a close ally of BJP,” said a BJP leader.
On the other hand, the DMK MPs went ahead and met Defence Minister AK Antony, asking him to scrap the training programme for Sri Lankan Army personnel in the country, arguing that such exercises created doubts in the minds of people of Tamil Nadu over the government’s intentions.
The delegation was led by the party’s Parliamentary Party leader T R Baalu.
In the memora ndum submitted to Antony, the DMK MPs said that India training Lankan army personnel after voting for the UNHRC resolution against the island country earlier this year, created “doubts in the minds of people of Tamil Nadu about the intentions of the government.”
“To allay such fears and doubts, we urge the Government of India to immediately stop training the Sri Lankan Army personnel, who are accused of perpetrating war crimes against innocent Tamils in that country,” the MPs said.
The issue has also triggered a letter war, with Chief Minister Jayalalithaa and her bete noire and DMK chief M Karunanidhi dashing off letters frequently to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking scrapping of the training exercise
The Rajapakse Brothers come to India several times a year. The Places they normally visit are Tirupati, ShirdiSai Temple, SatyaSai Temple, Guruvayur and Bodh Gaya. Tamils have to maintain Vigil at these places and capture these Rajapakse Criminals. These Rajapakse Criminals have to be Hanged at the Hague, Tamilnadu CM Jayalalithaa should give Reward Money of One Million Dollars to anyone who Captures these Srilankan Thugs. If India intervenes to protect these Criminals, then Tamils have to take 'Other' Methods to get Justice for the 40,000 Innocent Tamils who were massacred in the Genocide of 2009. In any case these Criminals, The Rajapakses cannot run from Tamil Justice. Your Days are Numbered!
It is a shame on us Indians for the illtreatment of the Sri Lankan tourists/pilgrims and forcing them to return. How can they be held responsible for whatever their government have done. We can understand anybody objecting to the Sri Lankan government or their officials but illtreating the innocent pilgrims or tourists is surely condemnable. Have we forgotten our credo "Athithi Devo Bhava"
KSV Subramanian, there should be no shame on kicking out Singalas from Tamilnadu. In fact TN Tamils have been very 'Patient' as far as Srilanka. You Sir are talking of "Athithi Devo Bhava" and such stuff. Where were guys like you, when 550 of out TN Fishermen were killed by Srilanka Navy? Do you even care for them? The TN Tamils are mad that over 40,000 Innocent Tamils were Butchered in 2009 by Singala Thugs. These 40.000 people had nothing to do with the Terrorism of Prabakaran. Yet they were killed, Some were Tortured and Executed and the Singalas are showing it off as War Trophy Videos. So where is Justice for Tamils? So many of the 40,000 cried 'Aiyo Muruga' and were shelled to Death? So where is Justice for them? The Indian Media and many Elites are so Godamm Silent on this matter? Why? Is it because,Tamils are Expendable? Or are they of a Lower Race? The Criminals responsible for the Genocide of Tamils will have to answer for their Crimes and that day is soon nearing.
