Senior ITAK representatives have held separate meetings with high-ranking officials from India and the United States, seeking diplomatic intervention in what the party describes as an urgent case involving party associate Anojan.
The ITAK delegation approached both missions with a request for immediate action, underscoring the gravity of the situation. The party has historically looked to regional and Western powers for support on matters affecting the Tamil community in Sri Lanka.
Details regarding the specific nature of Anojan's case remained limited, though the party's decision to engage diplomatic channels at the highest levels suggests concerns of significant consequence. ITAK representatives emphasized the need for swift intervention from the international community.
The move reflects the ongoing engagement between Tamil political parties and foreign governments on humanitarian and political matters affecting Sri Lanka's minority communities. Both India and the United States maintain active diplomatic presences in Colombo and have previously responded to appeals from Sri Lankan political parties on matters of concern.
