IR Bureau, Nov 17, 2008:
Urging the Sri Lankan government to implement ceasefire, actor Vijay on Sunday spoke a few words in Sinhala so that ‘those at the helm of affairs in the island nation could understand it and stop attacking innocent Tamils.’
At a hunger protest organised by the actor’s fans’ club in Chennai, he hoped that the attack on Tamils would certainly come to an end in the neighbouring country. ‘My fans’ club members are staging fasts in 37 places today,’ he said.
CPI State secretary D Pandian, actors Jayam Ravi, Vikranth, Sriman, directors Perarasu, Velu Prabhakaran, Ramana, Vijay’s parents S A Chandrasekaran and Shobha, his wife Sangeetha and others took part in the fast.
