PMK founder Dr S Ramadoss has appealed to Tamil Nadu people to vote against Congress and its allies for the support it extended to Rajapaksa regime to crush the Sri Lankan Tamils. The Congress and its allies must be given fitting lesson in the current polls.

He was addressing election meetings in Vandavasi, Cheyyar and Arni in Arni Lok Sabha constituency to seek votes to AIADMK candidate Gingee S Elumalai on Wednesday.

In his speech, Ramadoss said:

“Congress party has committed several acts of treason against Tamils that included favouring Karnataka in Cauvery river water sharing row and ceding Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka. The worst case was rendering support to former Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse in crushing Lankan Tamils. About one and a half lakh Tamils were killed by attacking with cluster bombs. I spent sleepless nights during the time. Congress-led Union Government offered support to Sri Lanka. This is the worst act of betrayal against the Tamils done by Congress party.

The then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Kalaignar Karunanidhi had enacted a drama by resorting to fast for just three hours to hoodwink the people of Tamil Nadu when the Tamils were butchered.

The voters wouldn't get a better opportunity than the current elections to teach a fitting lesson to DMK and Congress by defeating them in all the constituencies.”
