Extreme right wing Tamil Nadu local politician Vaiko urged the Federal Government not to provide military, material, or financial assistance to Sri Lanka that would enable "the Sri Lankan Air Force to strafe and bomb the Tamil areas, killing innocent Tamils."

In a memorandum submitted to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Vaiko, who is also the General Secretary of the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) said that "A large number of Tamils are coming to the shores of Tamil Nadu as refugees" because of the grave situation in Lanka causing enormous suffering to the Tamils. It accused successive Sri Lankan Governments of denying basic human rights to the Tamils and of not honoring assurances of devolution of power to Tamils in the North and East.
