Joining her arch rival DMK on the Lankan Tamils issue, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha on Monday (March 25) said India should stay away from the CHOGM to be held in Colombo in November to mount pressure on Sri Lanka to ensure accountability under an international framework for its alleged war crimes. Any high level participation or engagement from the Indian side in the CHOGM will not only embolden the Sri Lankan regime but also incense public opinion and sentiment in Tamil Nadu on this every sensitive issue even further", she said in a strongly-worded letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
