CHENNAI: Putting further pressure on the UPA government on the Sri Lanka issue, chief minister M. Karunanidhi on Friday said he was making a 'final request' to the Centre to ensure an immediate ceasefire in the Island nation, the Times of India’s online website said today.
The news item further said:
"I hope the Government would take necessary and immediate action to ensure a ceasefire in Sri Lanka," Karunanidhi said during a special call attention motion in the state Assembly. Otherwise, the DMK would be forced to convene its general council and take "appropriate decision," he warned.
Perceived as a veiled threat to the Congress-led UPA government of which his party is an important constituent, Karunanidhi’s statement in the assembly comes in the wake of a multi-pronged attack launched by Congress allies in Tamil Nadu for its inaction on the Lankan issue.
