Shiv Sena, representing Chennai, Thiruvallur and Kanchipuram district organizations held a day log fast and protest today, condemning the “killing and disappearances of innocent Tamil civilians” in Sri Lanka.
‘Veea’ Sri P. Karnanji, the state chair of Shiv Sena presided over this event, called for halting of Indian military assistance to the government of Sri Lanka. Shiv Sena also condemned ‘inaction’ by Tamil Nadu State Govt. on the matter concerning Tamils in Sri Lanka, according to a report on Colombo Tamil daily Virakesari website.

Shiv Sena (Army of lord Shiva) emerged out of a movement in Bombay, favouring increased influence of Marathis in Maharashtra. Although still primarily based in Maharashtra, the party has expanded branches throughout India.
