Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Thursday sought to mount pressure on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for boycotting the upcoming CHOGM meet to be hosted by Sri lanka next month in view of alleged human rights violations and discrimination against Tamil minority in that country.
“I strongly exhort you to ensure that the Government of India stays away from the CHOGM in Colombo. This will exert diplomatic pressure on Sri lanka to adopt a more reasonable approach towards its Tamil minority population,” she said in
her letter to Singh, the copies of which were released to the Press here.
