"India should stop calling Sri Lanka a friendly nation," Jayalalithaa said. Sri Lanka crushed the LTTE and wiped out its leadership in May 2009, ending one of the world's longest running conflicts. She also spoke about the UN Human Rights Council resolution that pulled up Colombo over accusations that many innocent Tamils died in the military blitzkrieg against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. Speaking in the house, the chief minister referred to the widespread protests by students in the state demanding action against Sri Lanka over the deaths of Tamil civilians in the war against the LTTE.
The Indian government was also asked to impose economic sanctions on the island nation until the "oppression" on Tamils there ended. It said those responsible for the alleged war crimes should be tried by an international court. The resolution also urged India to stop describing Sri Lanka as a friendly nation and sought an international probe on war crimes during the war against the Tamil Tigers that left thousands dead. A resolution moved by the AIADMK-controlled house said Tamils living in Sri Lanka as well as Tamils of Sri Lankan origin in other countries should take part in the referendum.
