Chennai AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa on Tuesday asked the Centre to expedite immediate measures for rehabilitation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Sri Lanka and ensure equal status for them on the lines of the majority Sinhalese in the island nation.

"India should expedite immediate measures for the rehabilitation of IDPs in Sri Lanka as well as ensure equal status for them on the lines of the majority Sinhalese in the island nation," she said in a statement here. Stating that the "miserable conditions" of the Tamils in Sri Lanka "continued" despite the end of the war (against the LTTE), she was critical of Sri Lanka's resolution in the United Nations Human Rights Council, seen as a counter by the island government to a draft Swiss-EU resolution calling for a probe into alleged human rights violations during the offensive.

On India's support to the Sri Lanka's resolution, she asked whether DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi "had asked the Centre anything about this."
