Vaiko slams TN Govt. over Lankan refugee suicide case

MDMK general secretary Vaiko and PMK chief S Ramadoss today hit out at the Tamil Nadu government over the suicide of a Tamil Sri Lankan refugee in Madurai district and demanded appropriate action in the case, the PTI reported.


“S. Ravindran has committed suicide only after intimidation crossed all limits,” Vaiko said.

Stating that the US and European nations treated Tamil refugees with respect, he alleged, “It is only in Tamil Nadu that they are treated like extremists and terrorists and threatened and intimidated.”

Ravindran, who lived at the Uchampatti refugee camp in Madurai district, committed suicide yesterday by holding an electric overhead cable after climbing a high-rise power transmission tower.

He ended his life after an argument with a retired revenue inspector, also the camp incharge (on contract basis).
