Pro-Eelam activists storm military campus, cane-charged

[thestringshredder]

UDHGAMANDALAM: Around 250 workers of a pro-Eelam Tamil outfit on Sunday protested against the reported training of Sri Lankan armed forces personnel at an Army campus near here, leading to a police lathicharge and arrest of 120 of them.

Police had kept a strict vigil and formed a two-tier security at a bridge, three kms from the Madras Regimental Centre (MRC) at nearby Wellington to prevent the pro-Eelam outfits, holding a series of protests against the training of Lankan personnel.

However, the workers of Naam Tamizhar Katchi of film director Seeman managed to enter the MRC campus from another side, to the surprise of officials, police said.

As the activists started raising slogans against Congress and Sri Lankan government and rushed towards the campus, housing the Defence Service Staff college, some policemen stationed inside it, made a lathicharge and managed to stop them about 100 metres ahead of the training institution and disperse them.

On hearing about the incident, police on duty at the bridge rushed to the spot and arrested 120 workers, including three women, police said.

The activists threatened to intensify their agitation and launch an indefinite fast, if the Sri Lankan personnel were not sent back.

Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa has already conveyed her government's opposition to the Centre over the training of the Lankan personnel.

MDMK led by Vaiko has announced siege protest of the college on June 25, holding that training the Lankan defence personnel hurt the sentiments of Tamils.

Why Srilankans are trained only in TamilNadu,,Pull out everything from there ,,just like IPL matches,,,,,They ll know their losses in due course.

Bad move by India Govt.

If India wants to give training to SL soldiers , give the training somewhere else , why TN. Considering the fact that TN considers SL Army to be the butchers of SL Tamils , the move is like stuffing down the throat something that they dont like.

We should have considered the feeling of the TN people before making any such move.

Also stupid decision by the people to storm into the military camp. They are lucky that the military didnot fired.

Consider the scenario where military had to fire and if some protestors were dead , it would have lead to mass chaos in TN considering the fact that how easily the populace can be brainwashed for the 'Tamil cause'.

Why should we train SL forces who are killing our countrymen?

What the heck is the meaning of this?

Appeasing anti-nationals in J&K, shoe-cleaning the PLA in Indo-Tibet border, doing AMAN KI TAMASHA in the western front and now training enemies of a major section of our country people.

WTF is this government doing?


Is it even a government considering that it is only doing harm rather than something for the countrymen?

But storming a military base is illegal and threatens the security establishment of the country.

The perpetrators should be punished severely.

You can't just rampage into a military campus.

Dude, SL is killing our countrymen.

Have some respect for our fellow countrymen down south.

They are as much Indians as you or I am.

Instead of appeasing enemies, please support your own fellow nationals.

SL soldiers are being trained in TL because LTTE terrorits are based in TL so they may have better chances of familiar training ground

I never said i don't support my country & its men.
Yes Srilanka is killinng people ,,,,but i am more worried of Naxal menace than the Srilankan issues,,
Isn't it a Irony Tamil Nadu itself is training SriLankans,, were as some people are opposing.

Actually same kinda conditions are also avail in Karnataka,,,so was wondering why TN only , as they r already facing the burnt for training SL personnel's.

No , LTTE terrorits are not based in TN .

But if we use your logic then majority of the world armies must train in pakistan for familiar training ground because they will be encountering terrorist someway linked to pakistan either by origin or training .
