Appeal to India: Stop Genocide, Save Tamils

The Indian Government is not just a passive spectator of the Sinhalese majoritarian state’s genocidal war to wipe out the Tamils from the face of the island. On the other hand, New Delhi supplies weapons, radar devices, financial aid, and military training to Sri Lanka thereby aiding and abetting the genocide of the Tamils. We urge the Indian Government to immediately withdraw its military support, technical help and radars. Sri Lanka had unilaterally withdrawn from an internationally-monitored ceasefire, therefore, we also call upon India to pressurize Colombo to announce an immediate ceasefire to stop the bloodshed on the island. We request the Indian Government not to indulge in hoodwinking the Tamil people, but help the Eelam Tamils by sending them supplies of food, clothes, medicine and blood not through the Sinhalese Government, but through the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) so that it shall reduce the suffering of the war-ravaged people. We further request the Indian Government to allow the Tamil Nadu people to humanely contribute such relief supplies through the ICRC without any hindrance whatsoever.
