Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe by Email I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Vel Paari is the advisor for MIC Youth. According to him, he has been the advisor since 2004. Well, good for MIC Youth. I’m sure they have strong and valid reason for the appointment. Anyway, what’s the role of MIC Youth Advisory Council headed by Ramis? Maybe they should other advisors as well – those that have some sort of academic and social standing, with more experience.
Now, for the proposal by MIC Youth. Good idea indeed. This will enhance the link between Tamil Nadu and MIC especially. Even though the current focus would be Sri Lanka situation, in the long term it can encompass all areas of cooperation among members. I’m not sure if any such groups exist solely for Tamils.
The MIC Youth has proposed the setting up of a Tamil League in a move to attract international attention to the plight of Tamils in Sri Lanka.
Adviser S. Vell Paari said the league should be a United Nations-recognised body, similar to the Organisa- tion of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
“I believe a new league of Tamils representing their resident country should be established in Tamil Nadu to diligently and vigilantly guard over the political, economic and social agenda of Tamils living all over the world,” he said in a statement.
Vell Paari said the Tamil League should have a similar framework and diplomatic status like that of the UN and each Tamil representative from member countries should be given an ambassadorship entitling them to diplomatic immunity.
“I say this to sanction a valid representation from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), who can also sit within this Tamil League to voice its concerns and grievances without the fear of being detained,” he said.
Vell Paari said the Tamil League can set up a committee to discuss and negotiate with the Sri Lankan Government for a peaceful solution.
