M Karunanidhi, the honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, began what was ultimately a fast of less then 24 hours to bring attention to the plight of Sri Lankan Tamils refugees.
I agree that the refugees that are caught in the crossfire between the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE rebels need to be granted safe exit. And the ceasefire may be the step in the right direction.
But my question to the earstwhile CM is why play politics with this issue? Was this just a political stunt during the election season to draw Tamil voters towards the DMK by playing the sympathy card? Ultimately what goal is it going to serve? Now that there is a ceasefire in Sri-Lanka, what is Mr Karunanidhi's next move? What has the CM done to ease the plight of millions of people in India who live in poverty?
