Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Monday expressed solidarity with the global Tamil diaspora on the occasion of Mullivaikkal Remembrance Day, pledging continued support for their rights.
In a post on X, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief said: “Let us hold the memories of Mullivaikkal in our hearts. We will always stand by the rights of our Tamil kindred living across the seas.”
May 18 is observed annually by Sri Lankan Tamils around the world as Mullivaikkal Remembrance Day, commemorating the lives lost during the final stages of Sri Lanka’s civil war in 2009.
Vijay’s message comes as remembrance events are being held in several countries by Tamil communities marking the anniversary. (Newswire)
