Save Tamils Movement (STM), the
Chennai-based forum of young IT professionals has now joined the
anti-Sri Lanka protest staged by the student community of Tamil Nadu.
To show solidarity with the warring
students of Tamil Nadu, STM prepares to join the anti-Sri Lanka struggle
as a part of their objective to addressing the needs of Eelam Tamils.
One of
the STM members, Syed Abdulkadhar says that they are planning to launch a
train campaign today by distributing pamphlets along Park
–Thiruvanmiyur suburban railway route in the city between 6-8 pm today
and 7-10 am tomorrow to create awareness of their proposed anti-Sri
Lanka agitation this Wednesday amongst their colleagues and IT circles.
Demanding for an independent
international investigation and urging for economic sanctions against
Sri Lanka, STM members and volunteers are gearing up to launch anti-Sri
Lanka protest this Wednesday,20th March at 4 pm in front of Tidel Park in the city.
Previously, to bring to light the
horrendous war crimes committed by Sri Lanka during the final stages of
ethnic conflict with the tiger rebels, Save Tamils Movement had screened
a war crimes documentary titled, ‘Sri Lanka: Buried Justice’ on 13th
March, 2013 at the Constitution Club of India, New Delhi in which
documentary film-maker Mohuya Chaudhuri, Prof Anuradha Chenoy and senior
journalist Rajesh Sundaram shared their perspective and opinion on the
issue.
Save
Tamils Movement members Parimala, Pravin Raj and Sa Elangovan along with
lawyer Amarnath were in New Delhi for the film screening. The STM
representatives at Delhi opined that ‘India does not understand Tamil
sentiments.’
Save
Tamils Movement is of the firm opinion that only an independent
international inquiry into the ethnic killings and atrocious war crimes
of Sri Lanka could be the minimal justice possibly rendered for the
Eelam Tamils and that could only pave way for stopping of systematic ethnic cleansing of Tamils, that is continuing even today in the island nation.
