In a statement, Vaiko, a staunch pro-Tamil leader, claimed that the Lanka-specific resolution by US at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), which DMK wants India to support, will do no justice to Tamils as it has no mention of terms like 'genocide' nor was there any condemnation of alleged human rights violations.
He alleged that India had helped Sri Lanka with arms and expertise during the final assault on LTTE in 2009 "which resulted in deaths of lakhs of Tamils," even as it remained ignorant to pleas urging it to ask Colombo to halt hostilities.
"Since anger against the Lankan government and grief over (Lankan) Tamils was fast growing among people of Tamil Nadu, the UPA-government is using DMK to divert people away from the isue "instead of showing the path of justice," he alleged.
He also alleged that New Delhi had failed to stop the continued attacks allegedly by Lankan navy on fishermen from the state.
He said that Karunanidhi had now announced striking work on seeking India's support to the US-sponsored resolution.
He also sought a referendum on Eelam (seperate homeland for Tamils).
