Marumalarchi DMK (MDMK) general secretary Vaiko has sought the intervention of US President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown to save the lives of thousands of Lankan Tamils from starvation.In an Email to them, he urged the two leaders to take immediate steps to send food materials to the starving Tamils only through international agencies like the International Red Cross, without involving the Sri Lankan Government.
He said to hoodwink the international community, the Lankan Government had cunningly enacted a drama of telecasting the supply of food to very few Tamil people in select safe zones.
Mr Vaiko said the ''most shocking tragedy taking place in the island of Sri Lanka is that 3,50,000 Tamils are subjected to virtual starvation. Children, elderly people and women are dying without any food.'' ''The Sri Lankan Government headed by Mahinda Rajapaksa has diabolically determined to decimate Tamil people, subjecting them to total starvation,'' the MDMK leader alleged.
