Declare SL Tamils coming to TN as refugees: PMK
PMK Founder S.Ramadoss on Monday urged the central government to declare Sri Lankan Tamils coming to India owing to the dire economic situation in the island as refugees.
In a statement issued here, Ramadoss said owing to the economic situation in Sri Lanka, the number of Tamils from the island nation coming to Tamil Nadu is on the rise.
While the Tamil Nadu government is willing to help them with cash and other items, it is not able to do so as the central government has not announced such arrivals as refugees, Ramadoss said.
