New Delhi: Appealing to India to "intervene immediately and put an end to the war", a senior Sri Lankan Tamil MP has alleged that the island nation's Army plans to capture the LTTE-held Vanni area, which could result in a huge loss of lives.
"Sri Lankan military is planning a major attack to capture Vanni from the Tamil Tigers. Their plan is to bring the Tamil area from Mohamalai forward defense line up to Paranthan close to Kilinochchi (the LTTE headquarters) under their control," M K Sivajilingam of the Tamil National Alliance, a pro-LTTE party, said. "Surely, thousands of innocent Tamils will be killed," he said.
He also said the Tamils in Lanka, who have "not been able to live a peaceful life in their own country", are looking for help from India, especially people from Tamil Nadu.
