A TNA delegation of five MPs has met Karunanidhi at his residence today and reportedly sought India's intervention in accelerating rehabilitation of displaced Tamils in Sri Lanka.
"We have requested the intervention of India and the Chief Minister for the welfare of Tamils," Sampanthan has told Indian media after meeting Karunanidhi.
Sampanthan had alleged that there was little progress in the rehabilitation measures announced by Sri Lankan government for Tamils after the end of the war against the LTTE last year.
"Sri Lanka has not taken any concrete steps towards implementing a political solution for the Tamil problem. The government has not taken any dialogue with us for achieving a political solution," Sampanthan has been quoted.
He had also alleged militarization and settling of Sinhalese in Tamil-dominated areas in Sri Lanka.
The Indian Express states that the TNA delegation had also welcomed the DMK chief's suggestion to the Central Indian government for deputing a special envoy to Sri Lanka for assessing progress made in rehabilitation measures.
