(UTV|COLOMBO) – India’s ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) top leader, O. Paneerselvam Thursday (04) accused the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and Congress of being responsible for human rights violations in Sri Lanka during the last phase of civil war in the island nation in 2009, the Press Trust of India (PTI) reported.
The two parties were in power in the Centre then but did nothing to protect the Tamils in Sri Lanka, he said campaigning for AIADMK Nilgiris Lok Sabha constituency candidate M. Thiagarajan in Gudalur in Nilgiris District.
