While addressing a huge crowd, Jayalalitha said, “I have demanded dual citizenship for the refugees, so that they can get jobs easily”.
The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu state further said, “I have continuously demanded an independent international investigation on the people who committed genocide. Will take steps for creation of separate Tamil Eelam for Sri Lankan Tamils where they can live an independent and respectable life.
The statement was issued during a public meeting by Jayalalitha while she was campaigning in Tiruchy today. Earlier Jayalalitha had moved a resolution in the Tamil Nadu State Assembly House, stating that there should be an impartial, international and independent probe for the alleged war crimes and genocides faced by Tamil refugees in Sri Lanka.
