[Skyline]

A group of pilgrims from Elpitiya had come under attack by a pro-LTTE gang in Chennai, South India.

One of the pilgrims, Susil Kukulegama, said the attack took place today (Aug. 03) after they were identified as Sri Lankans.

The pilgrims, who had left for India on July 17, had been shopping at the time of the incident.


They are presently staying at a hotel in Chennai.

Meanwhile, the head of public relations at the External Affairs Ministry Sarath Dissanayake said they were unaware of such an incident.

He said, however, the reported incident would be looked into.

Pics from the news article, Most Sri Lankans familiar with that photo as it's "Dhabadiva".

It means, "it was bound to happen".

Anyways I hope the culprits are caught.

Not a correct thing to do.

The culprits must be brought to book.

Why was it bound to happen?

tamils are very viral about sri lanka sinhalese IINM. but taking it on tourists/pilgrims shows the immature attitude these brainwashed radicals have.
leaders like vaiko, tamil director seeman and his "naam tamizhar iyakkam" ..such groups are glowing the anger of tamils on the ethnic cleansing happened on lanka during LTTE operations.

rest of India does not share such a feeling generally.
