Buses in Tamil Nadu were attacked this afternoon because they had on board pilgrims from Sri Lanka. The convoy of five buses was headed to the Trichy airport to board a special flight home.

Earlier today, the group of nearly 180 Sri Lankans were stopped by protesters after they left the famous Velankanni Christian shrine, 20 kilometres from Trichy.

The Sri Lankans also faced protests yesterday during their visit to another shrine near Thanjavur.

The incident comes a day after Sri Lanka issued a travel advisory asking its citizens not to visit Tamil Nadu until further notice in the wake of "increasing number of instances of intimidation" of Sri Lankans in the state.

Over the weekend, in a much-criticised move, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa ordered that a football team that was visiting the state in a friendly match should be sent back to Sri Lanka immediately.

    First, our government should respond to this diplomatically. Because they have responsibility to keep all citizens in a safe position even they are out of country.

    Secondly, we should not do the same to the people who travel from country called Tamilnadu to Srilanka. Instead we should treat them like kings. If we do the same what they did to us then there wont be any differences between them and Sinhalese.

    So its a high priority to protect them in all the ways to safely tour and get back to their country.

    We should not take any step towards another disaster.

    Please read this and act upon, hope you will get good feedback from rest of the world.

    Same time give a big media coverage and telecast worldwide. Saying “Despite attacks in Tamilnadu, Sri Lankans treat them like kings upon their travels to Colombo.”

    Hope we can win….We are SriLankans….

    We should not do what dogs do. We will do what humans do!!!..

    We are educated enough to show them who we are.
