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.
