The leader of the MDMK, Vaiko, accused the central government, led by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), of "betraying Tamils by showing indulgence to the island nation", reports the Times of India.
Speaking to journalists in Chennai on Monday, Vaiko criticised the NDA government's "proximity to the Mahinda Rajapaksa dispensation in Sri Lanka".
"Instead of bringing Sri Lanka to book by forcing it to face trial for its war crimes and atrocities against Tamils, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had invited Rajapaksa for the swearing-in ceremony and then engaged secret intermediaries to maintain contacts with Sri Lanka," the newspaper quoted Vaiko as saying.
