Jayalalithaa To Observe Day-long Fast
Chennai: AIADMK General Secretary Jayalalithaa Jayaram will observe a day-long fast on Tuesday, March 10 demanding the centre’s intervention in the current Sri Lankan issue.
She will observe the fast in order to call upon the centre to press the Sri Lankan government for an immediate ceasefire.
Jayalalithaa, the former Tamil Nadu chief minister, in a statement on Thursday (5) said that other prominent leaders of the party would lead the fast at the district headquarters.
This is the first time that Jayalalithaa has come out openly in support of the Sri Lankan Tamils.
Present Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi has continuously called on Delhi to intervene in the Sri Lankan issue for a ceasefire. Jayalalithaa, however, has refrained from supporting Karunanidhi’s campaigns on behalf of the Sri Lankan Tamils
