More than 200 people from MIC Youth and several non-governmental organizations staged a peaceful demonstration in front of the Sri Lankan High Commission here yesterday.
They were protesting against the Sri Lankan government’s continued air and ground attacks against Sri Lankan Tamils resulting in innocent men, women and children being killed and maimed.
The demonstration which was led by MIC Youth deputy coordinator S. Murugesan and MIC Youth advisory council chairman S. Ramis. MIC Youth coordinator T. Mohan and S. Vell Paari were present to give their moral support.
All the members wore black armbands while some carried placards depicting the pictures of the affected women, children and damaged houses.
However they decided not to submit a memorandum of protest to the High Commission after their officials insisted on only allowing MIC Youth officials to present it.
Murugesan said that it was unacceptable as MIC Youth had already informed the High Commission that they were coming together to hand over the memorandum.
“It seems that the High Commission wants to divide the MIC Youth and the ngos. Their condition is unacceptable,” he told reporters later.
Earlier a High Commission official only wanted to allow two people to go into their premises to submit their memorandum but later relented to allow five of them.
The official requested for the identification cards of the five representatives including three ngo representatives which he took into the premises but later came back and said that only the MIC Youth representatives would be allowed in.
Murugesan said that they would initiate a campaign to urge Malaysians to boycott Sri Lanka products as well as the Sri Lanka airlines.
“We would be having another demonstration with a much bigger crowd in the near future. We will show our strength,” he said.
