An Appeal by the Leaders of the Political Parties
We, the leaders of the political parties and Members of Parliament of India are concerned about deteriorating humanitarian situation and human catastrophe in Northern Sri Lanka caused by the ongoing war between the Srilankan Armed forces and the LTTE. Nearly 500 thousands of Tamil people in Mullaitheevu are suffering without any food and medicine, facing annihilation due to indiscriminate shelling and aerial bombing. Innocent civilians, men, women and children are killed. It is shocking that even the hospitals have not been spared. We insist that the Indian Government should take immediate and effective measures through diplomatic channels to bring ceasefire in Srilanka and ensure the safety of lives of the Tamils.
