Actors and other representatives of the Tamil film
industry on Tuesday began a day-long fast demanding the rehabilitation
of Sri Lankan Tamils and an international probe into the alleged war
crimes.
Film activity in Tamil Nadu came to a
standstill as artistes, directors, producers, distributors and
exhibitors are participating in the hunger-strike being held at the
premises of South Indian Film Artists’ Association in Chennai
Sarath Kumar, who is leading the protest, demanded that the Centre
implement the resolution adopted by the Tamil Nadu Assembly recently
demanding a referendum on separate Tamil Eelam and action against those
who committed war crimes.
The protesters are likely to pass few resolutions later in the day on the Sri Lankan Tamils issue.
