Chennai: DMK
president and former Tamil Nadu chief minister M.Karunanidhi
Tuesday said India should take up efforts in the United Nations
for holding a referendum in Sri Lanka for creation of a separate
Tamil Eelam.
Welcoming the idea of a referendum for the creation of Tamil Eelam,
Karunanidhi, writing for the party mouthpiece Murasoli, said: "The
demand for holding referendum amongst Tamils for the creation of
Tamil Eelam is welcome."
"At the intervention of United Nations, some countries have been
formed and got recognition. Similarly a referendum should be
conducted amongst Tamils for the creation of Tamil Eelam and
United Nations should take steps for that."
He said India should give necessary support and pressure for the
measure.
