TAMIL NADU, INDIA

Dear Dr. Kalaignar Karunanidhi,

We Salute You!
The Tamils of Eelam are being butchered by the xenophobic government of Sri Lanka. We are encouraged and grateful that you have raised your voice to support the fasting campaign and related civil actions to bring pressure to bear on the Indian Central government that covertly abets in this massacre by supplying war material and advisory personnel to Sri Lanka. We look to the leadership of Tamil Nadu to prevent the imminent and genocidal consequences of the Sri Lankan government’s unbridled thirst for the wholesale massacre of innocent Tamils in Sri Lanka. The refugees in the Vanni are treated as sitting ducks.
We agree with you that the war being waged by the Sri Lankan government is against the Tamil speaking population in general and not a war against a militant/terrorist movement. We are intensely proud that the Tamils of Tamil Nadu and Tamils throughout the world are one with the Tamils of Eelam and are indivisible in their common aspirations for their language, culture and development. In the United Kingdom, the Diaspora Tamils have been expressing their overwhelming outrage at the continued failure of the American, European and Japanese governments in particular to apply effective sanctions to a marauding Sri Lankan government on the one hand and their callous and indifferent approach to the sufferings of the Tamils who have been resisting the Sri Lankan government’s brutalities. 
In the continued failure of these governments to decisively intervene to prevent the impending holocaust against the Eelam Tamils, we particularly welcome your demand for an immediate halt to New Delhi’s covert support to the genocidal war against ethnic Tamils and for a stop to its anti-Tamil policies. 
Time is of the essence, as you will be aware that not only has China's aid to Sri Lanka increased fivefold to almost £500 million a year but also that Sri Lanka's blossoming relationship with Iran has led to the latter pledging more than £900m in soft loans, grants and cheap oil, making it Sri Lanka's largest foreign donor overnight. "In Asia, we don't go around preaching to our neighbours and our friends," said Sri Lanka's foreign secretary, Palitha Kohona, during the Iranian President’s recent visit to Colombo. "This public naming and shaming process that seems to have become so popular in the West is really not so accepted here." The soft underbelly of Tamil Nadu and its nuclear facilities are at risk from a belligerent and well armed Sri Lanka.
The message is clear. With friends like China and Iran behind them, Sri Lanka feels that it can cock a snook at India. It no longer needs to allow the human rights concerns of Western powers to stop its murderous onslaught against the Tamils of Eelam. 
The Indian government as a regional power has considerable influence and should use it judiciously to pressurise the Sri Lankan government to immediately halt the killings and to return to the path of negotiations. We sincerely hope that your voice will continue to grow stronger until such time as your government finally accepts its responsibilities for the safety and welfare of the Eelam Tamils and for a just and equitable settlement.

Yours sincerely
