I am unable to sleep, whenever I think of it. Let us save the Tamil race and its honour. Let us avoid the racial genocide in Sri Lanka at whatever price."<a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?sectionName=HomePage&id=2de2f289-a1a3-4cce-83fa-de8ff6071933&MatchID1=4814&TeamID1=6&TeamID2=1&MatchType1=1&SeriesID1=1212&PrimaryID=4814&Headline=Karuna+welcomes+PM%27s+remarks+on+Lanka+issue" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?sectionName=HomePage&id=2de2f289-a1a3-4cce-83fa-de8ff6071933&MatchID1=4814&TeamID1=6&TeamID2=1&MatchType1=1&SeriesID1=1212&PrimaryID=4814&Headline=Karuna+welcomes+PM%27s+remarks+on+Lanka+issue" target="_blank">hindustantimes</a></blockquote>
