Her reaction came amid reports that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would consider the sentiments of Tamils before deciding on his personal participation at the CHOGM.
"I wish to reiterate Tamil Nadu's view that India should not participate ... at any level whether titular, ministerial or official," she said in a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday.
Jayalalithaa reminded Manmohan of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's decision to boycott the CHOGM. According to her, only such an action would convey India's unequivocal stand that it would not tolerate the violation of human rights of the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka. "I hope you will respect the sentiments of the people of Tamil Nadu and unanimous view across party lines and convey India's decision to stay away from the forthcoming the CHOGM," she said, and recalled her letter to him in March, pleading for the same.
The present Sri Lankan regime has been accused of committing genocide, war crimes and human rights abuses against the Tamil minority. It allegedly continues to deny them equality and democratic freedom and thereby clearly violates the central credo of the Commonwealth. Against this background, the participation of India at the event would amount to an endorsement of these excesses, the chief minister said.
Jayalalithaa feared that such participation would not only embolden the Sri Lankan regime but would also incense public opinion and sentiment in Tamil Nadu. "It will also have adverse implications on the internal security situation in Tamil Nadu," she said, adding, "It will also be an expression of India's empathy and solidarity with Tamils, not only in Tamil Nadu but elsewhere."
