| 2010-03-14 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] Sri Lanka's major Tamil party has promised to launch a disobedience campaign and press for autonomy for the country's ethnic minority. The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) says they will launch a peaceful Ghandi-style campaign if the government fails to view the rights of the Tamils. Since launching a violent revolution brought them nothing but death and destruction ... The announcement comes after the group renewed its demand for regional autonomy in its manifesto for April general elections. The alliance has also called for power sharing arrangements -- acceptable to the Tamils. The TNA currently has 22 seats in 225-member parliament. |
