Traders in Tamil Nadu held a protest agaist Britain earlier this week, following British Prime Minister David Cameron reaffirming that the UK would be attending CHOGM in Colombo next month.

Students joined the Tamil Nadu Traders Forum as they burnt British products and called for a boycott of British goods, unless Britain reversed their decision to attend and worked to suspend Sri Lanka from the Commonwealth.




Meanwhile the Balachandran Students Movement also held a protest outside the British flagship store Marks & Spencers in Vijaya Mall, Chennai earlier this month.

The students held placards which denounced Britain's decision to attend and called for a complete boycott of CHOGM.
