Sri Lankan Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa was totally wrong in his comment that all those in Tamil Nadu who supported the Sri Lankan Tamil cause were doing it for political mileage,DMK chief Karunanidhi said on Tuesday. If Gotabaya thinks DMK is doing it for political mileage,then he is totally wrong as the party has been fighting for the cause for long. He knows it well that the DMK is for liberation of the Tamil race in Sri Lanka, he said. Karunanidhi said he could not accept the Sri Lankan Defence Secretary's remarks that the island government has taken all political steps to mitigate sufferings of the Tamil minority. Those who wanted to get the rights through fighting cannot accept the remarks of those who denied them their political rights, he said. Karunanidhi said the DMK has never supported the 'genocide' of Tamils in Sri Lanka. We are not like Jayalalithaa who had said it was natural for people to die in a war, he said.
