New Delhi (PTI): A delegation of DMK and Congress MPs from Tamil Nadu will call on Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa here tomorrow (Wednesday) to exhort him to take steps for early resettlement of over 80,000 Tamils displaced due to war and political resolution of the ethnic issue in that country.
It will be perhaps the first political delegation from Tamil Nadu to call on a visiting Sri Lankan President.
The delegation headed by DMK Parliamentary Party leader T.R. Baalu will meet Rajapaksa, who is visiting India for the first time after his resounding victory in the January 26 elections, and discuss the issue of rehabilitation and resettlement of the displaced Tamils.
“We will be meeting Sri Lankan President Rajapaksa on Wednesday to press him the need for resettling over 80,000 people who are still lodged in various camps in northern Sri Lanka,” Baalu said here.
