A resolution to this effect was passed unanimously in the assembly.
Earlier, moving the resolution, Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa said the Sri Lankan government, in 2009, when the internal war there was at its peak, had killed lakhs of Tamils, violating international war norms.
Jayalalithaa said she had opposed the Indian government's assistance to Sri Lanka by way of giving arms, ammunition and training the latter's armed forces.
She said in her letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that efforts should be taken to shift the CHOGM summit venue out of Sri Lanka.
