Time for rethink on Sri Lanka: Karunanidhi

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI : Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi said on Thursday that the time was now ripe to "rethink and find an answer" to the Sri Lankan crisis.

Condemning Sri Lankan Army for going on "the rampage," Mr. Karunanidhi said that "apart from the aerial bombing, the Sri Lankan Armed Forces fired missiles, resulting in heaps of dead bodies of hundreds of children."

The news from Mattakallappu was "shocking and sorrowful" and "hundreds of Tamils staying as refugees have been brutally killed by the bombings."

Even the Norway peace team was attacked, the Chief Minister said. He said he wished to bring to the notice of the Centre the pertinent question that had now arisen: How long was India going to keep patience?
