AIADMK, MDMK to participate in CPI fast

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: The AIADMK, MDMK and the CPI (M) will participate in the fast organised by the state unit of the CPI on Gandhi Jayanthi day urging the Sri Lankan government to stop the military attack on Tamils.

Confirming their participation, senior CPI leader C. Mahendran said though letters were sent to all political parties inviting them, only these parties had so far agreed to take part in the protest.

Former AIADMK Minister Muthusamy, MDMK general secretary Vaiko and CPI (M) state secretary N. Varadarajan will represent their parties.

Calling upon the Sri Lankan government to find a political solution for the ethnic crisis, Mr. Mahendran said India should not give any military assistance to Sri Lanka.
