IDPs` condition improved after MPs` Lanka visit: Kanimozhi

Chennai, Nov 2 (PTI) Dravida Munnettra Kazhagam (DMK)
Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Indian Parliament) member
Kanimozhi Monday said there was 'some improvement' in the
condition of internally displaced Tamils in Sri Lanka after
delegation comprising MPs (Members of Parliament) of DMK,
Congress party and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK)
visited the island nation last month.
After the visit of the Indian MPs' delegation in Sri
Lanka there was 'some improvement' in the situation, Kanimozhi
daughter of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, told
reporters here.
"Over 50,000 IDPs had returned to their native places,"
she said but added that her party wanted all internally
displaced persons, now accommodated in camps in Sri Lanka, to
return to their respective places at the earliest.
"This is not enough. DMK wanted all of them to be sent
to their native places, besides a political solution, under
which they can live honourably," she said. PTI
