The Tamil Nadu Police have thwarted attempts made by Sri Lankan refugees to commemorate LTTE martyrs at the Chenkalpattu refugee camp.
A special police team stormed the camp and demolished the commemorative stone. Reports from Chennai said that it removed all decorations put up in yellow and red inside the camp premises. The Special Chenkalpattu Camp, which houses around 100 Lankan refugees, was also thoroughly searched by the special police team, which had banned the commemoration.
The Sri Lankan refugees who had made arrangements for the commemoration chanted slogans against the Tamil Nadu Police and the Government of Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, for interrupting the commemoration ceremony.
Sources mentioned that Police officers responding to the Chenkalpattu Lankan refugees, said they would not be allowed to commemorate LTTE cadres as the outfit is proscribed in India.
