Ceasefire abrogation a violation of human rights:Chandrasekaran

Terming the Sri Lankan government's decision to call off the ceasefire agreement with the LTTE as a violation of human rights, a Sri Lankan Tamil minister today said only India could help find a solution to the vexed ethnic issue in the island nation.

The Sri Lankan Minister for Community Development P Chandrasekaran said the island president Mahinda Rajapakse's decision to call off the ceasefire was an "act against human rights".

"India is the only country which has the strength and opportunity to end the problem in Sri Lanka," Chandrasekaran, representing India tea plantation Tamils of Indian origin, said after calling on the PMK founder S Ramadoss here.

He said he had sought an appointment with the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi to apprise him of the latest developments in Sri Lanka.
