In a joint statement, the
Directors’ Council of Tamil Nadu, the
Producers’ Council, the South Indian
Nadigar Sangam, FEFSI, Film Distributors’
Association, Theatre Owners’ Association
and all the affiliated associations have appealed
to the Indian film industry not to participate
in the IIFA that is to be held on June 4,
5 and 6 this year.
The killing of scores of Sri Lankan Tamils
is still afresh in the minds of the Tamilians
living across the globe and participating
in this event will be a great insult to all
the Tamils, according to the statement.
It furthered that the Sri Lankan government
failed to stop war even after repeated requests
from the Tamils. In an effort to support the
Sri Lankan Tamils, none of the film personalities
should attend the event, it appealed.
