Chennai: The DMK will hold a consultative meeting of Tamil Eelam Supporters Organisation (TESO) today to fine tune its representation to the United Nations on the Lankan Tamils crisis.
The party is sending MK Stalin and TR Baalu to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to press for speedy resettlement and rehabilitation of the displaced Lankan Tamils in Sri Lanka.
In August, the party held the TESO conference in Chennai, but had refrained from its demand for a separate homeland for Lankan Tamils following pressure from the Centre.
In March this year, India voted against Sri Lanka at the UNHRC asking Colombo to address alleged rights violations during the final phase of the war against the LTTE, and a few days ago the Prime Minister wrote to Karunanidhi assuring that the resettlement and rehabilitation of Lankan Tamils is a top priority issue for India.
Political analysts say the DMK, which was accused of not doing enough for the Lankan Tamils' cause when it was in power in Tamil Nadu, is trying to use this issue now to improve its tally in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
