Vijayakanth too condemns Lankan article against Jaya

Madurai, Aug 3: Condemning the derogatory article against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa published on a Sri Lankan website, NDA ally DMDK on Aug 2 urged the Centre to review its relationship with the neighbouring country for demeaning her letters to the Prime Minister on the problems faced by state fishermen.

In a statement here, party founder leader Vijayakanth, whois also the Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly, described as "loathing" the derogatory observations about the letters, carried in the Sri Lankan defence website along with pictures, and said it needed to be condemned strongly.

"The tamils are angry with the Sri Lanka over the article,and the island nation should not repeat such mean acts. It istime India review its relationship with Sri Lanka," he added.

Sri Lankan Government had yesterday tendered an unqualified apology and remove the post as Jayalalithaa and various other political leaders, including her arch-rival DMK President M Karunanidhi, strongly protested against it.
