Vaiko urges UPA to stop arms supply to SriLanka

Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) Secretary Vaiko today urged the UPA government to stop supply and sale of arms to Sri Lanka and get back the radars already supplied.

In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, a copy of which was released to the media here, he expressed shock over the continuous supply of radars.

He alleged that the Sri Lankan Air Force had killed thousands of innocent Tamil men, women and children all these years.

The UPA government was behaving contrary to the decision of the Union Government, which decided in 1998 at an all party meeting not to sell or supply any arms to Sri Lanka, he alleged.

''It is a proven fact that the Sri Lankan Government is guilty of genocide to achieve its goal of ethnic cleansing of Tamils,'' he alleged.
