Tamil Eelam only solution: Jayalalithaa

In a dramatic shift in her stand on the Sri Lanka issue, AIADMK general secretary J Jayalalithaa on Saturday said that her party would strive for the establishment of an independent ‘Tamil Eelam’ as that was the only lasting solution to the decades-old ethnic crisis in Sri Lanka. “It is now clear that the Sri Lankan government’s sole agenda is to wipe out the Tamil race from the island. They have no intention of giving them equal rights,” she said at an election rally in Erode in western Tamil Nadu. She said she had come to this conclusion after watching the video footage shown to her by spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravishankar.
