“We will not at all accept the US resolution. We strongly condemn it.  Settlement to the Tamils genocide an international probe and holding referendum will be a solution”.

“Indian government should immediately impose economy sanction against Sri Lanka. An investigation panel should be appointed to probe the war crimes in Sri Lanka, but Asian countries should not be members of that committee”.

“By insisting our demands, on the forthcoming 20th, one billion students will organize a massive protest.  We have planned to scorch the resolution brought by US in the entire Tamil Nadu including cities in the districts and to hold protest”.
