Jayalalitha says she want Sri Lankan Leader Mahinda before International Court - If fails, ask central goverment impose economic sanctions

Jayalalitha Jeyaram, the newly elected chief minister for Tamil Nadu has asked the Indian Central government to take measures against Sri Lanka Leader Mahinda for alleged war crimes and genocide of Tamils. Speaking in her own channel, Jaya TV after her election victory yesterday (May 13), she said that it was India's responsibility to ensure a "dignified and honourable existence" for the Tamils in Sri Lanka.

"I will exert pressure on the central government, after I take over as the CM, to take action against Sri Lankan leader before international court for genocide and war crimes. India should take the initiative for this," she has said.

If Mahinda fails to honour that, she said, India should also take other measures to pressurize Sri Lanka.
"If Sri Lankan regime did not oblige to these requests, Indian government has to impose economic sanctions on Sri Lanka together with other countries," the CM designate has added.

The main reason for the suffering of Tamils in Sri Lanka, according to the newly elected CM, is the Sri Lanka government."As Tamils, it is our duty to ensure a good life for the Tamils in Sri Lanka," she said.

"I can act on this regard as the CM on a limited way, but this is an international issue. Therefore, the central government should take action to resolve this," she has added.
