Shoot-at-sight orders issued in Tamil Nadu
Shoot-at-sight orders were issued through out Tamil Nadu by Director-General of Police K P Jain late on Friday.
Lawyers, led by Tamil Nadu Advocates Association president S Prabakaran and Madras High Court Advocates Association president R C Paul Kanagaraj, took out a rally demanding the arrest of the city police commissioner and other senior officials. The advocates said they will continue to boycott the court till action is taken against the policemen who were involved in the violence. They also demanded action against director general of police and city police commissioner. Lawyers burnt copies of some dailies in the court complex alleging bias against advocates in the media coverage of Thursday's clashes.
Original protest by lawyers was against apparent attempts by Sri Lankan Sinhalese to murder many Sri Lankan Tamils, so far with the connivance of Delhi.
In USA, organizers said some 5,000 people -- mostly Tamil residents of the United States and Canada -- took part in the rally near the South Lawn of the White House, where they beat drums and chanted "Stop the genocide!"
IMO: "Shoot on sight" orders by KP Jain in Chennai speak for themselves in these circumstances, as does the situation in Tamil Nadu. Of course I do not know exactly what is going on in Sri Lanka but Delhi has to learn that even in Tamil Nadu, "You can't fool all the people all the time".
The recent air bombing attack by Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels on the capital shows that while the LTTE conventional capacity has been drastically reduced, their ability to launch surprise attacks is undiminished.
IMO: So supposed Hitlerite activities by the Sinhalese has met with continued local protest.
