Chennai:
The PMK today condemned India''s move to help Sri Lanka set up a power plant, saying it only meant that the Centre had chosen "not to honour" Tamil Nadu assembly resolution seeking economic sanctions against the island republic over the Tamil rehabilitation issue.
Criticising the move to help Lanka establish the 500 MW coal-based power plant near Trincomallee, PMK founder S Ramadoss said the "action was like saying they (Centre) will never heed to the voice of Tamils". Drawing comparisons between West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee''s objections on the Teesta water-sharing issue and the assembly resolution, Ramadoss said while the Centre called off signing of agreement on Teesta with Bangladesh following her protest, it had "chosen not to honour" the Tamil Nadu assembly resolution.
"It is shocking to see that the Centre which is observing federal principles with West Bengal did not do the same with Tamil Nadu," he said in a statement. India''s power generation utility NTPC had signed a joint venture pact with Ceylon Electricity Board in this regard.TN Assembly adopted an unanimous resolution in June seeking imposition of economic sanctions on Lanka by India to ''rein in'' Colombo on the Tamil issue while pressing for speedy rehabilitation of displaced Tamils.
