In the ongoing war between SriLankan government and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ezham too many innocent Tamil civilians are killed. There have been so many fast protests in Tamilnadu alone, but one that created waves was that held by the cine artist association.
Now Vijay and his fans have organized a fast on Sunday 16th of November to protest against the killings of innocent Tamizh civilians. Actor Vijay proclaimed this news after gaining proper permission to hold fast between 8am to 4pm near Chepauk stadium entrance in Chennai. All the fans and participators are requested to be dressed in black. It is not only held in Chennai but also in the headquarters of "All India Vijay Fans Association" in every state and district by the members.
We pray that these prolonged protest held by well wishers around the world would bring peace to SriLanka.
