Expressing anguish over India's decision to participate in the CHOGM in Sri Lanka, Tamil Nadu Assembly had yesterday passed a resolution at its emergent session demanding “complete boycott” of the summit.
The resolution moved by Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa was passed by voice vote even as Congress, Puthiya Tamizhagam and CPI-M members were not present while the PMK chose to boycott the session.
On October 24, the Tamil Nadu Assembly had passed a similar resolution calling for India's total boycott of the summit over alleged “genocide” of Tamils in Sri Lanka and its failure to grant them equal rights.
