Latheef backs Govt. stand

By Our Staff Reporter

TIRUNELVELI, MAY 13. The all India general secretary and the State unit president of the Indian National League (INL) Mr. M. Abdul Latheef, MLA, expressed his total support to the foreign policy of the country with respect to Sri Lankan crisis and called upon the political parties in the State to exercise a very high sense of restraint and responsibility while expressing their views on this issue.

Speaking to presspersons here today, Mr. Latheef said, accepting the decision of the Central Government on this issue will alone be in the national interest. He also supported the way in which the Chief Minister, Mr. M. Karunanidhi had reconciled himself to the views expressed by the Prime Minister.

``The problems confronting the Tamils in Sri Lanka are being discussed for very long, but at the same time we should not forget that it is the internal affair of a neighbouring country. Our stand with reference to the Island Tamils should not be a point for justification of the illegal acts and intransigence perpetrated by some vested interests in the northern part of our country''.
