S<\/strong>eeking to rebut criticism that he had dropped the demand for a separate \u2018Tamil Eelam\u2019, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president M. Karunanidhi on Sunday said he would seek to realise his life dream with the help of like-minded people in the future, and the conference he presided over here was only akin to administration of first aid to the \u201cwounded and bleeding\u201d Tamil community in Sri Lanka.
\n
\n\u201cI am asked why there is no reference to \u2018Eelam\u2019 at the conference. My explanation is: our first priority is to dressing the wounds suffered by the Tamils. Following this, within my lifetime, I will struggle with you to realise my dream with all of you,\u201d he told the Tamil Eelam Supporters\u2019 Organisation (TESO) conference held at the YMCA Ground, Royapettah here.<\/p>\n

In a resolution, the conference said that as a country protecting a number of nationalities, India could not remain silent on the \u201cundemocratic developments\u201d in Sri Lanka. It demanded that India move a resolution in the United Nations for bestowing full rights on the Tamil community in the island to decide their own political future. \u201cCan there be a better resolution than this that will put effective pressure on India?\u201d Mr. Karunanidhi asked.<\/p>\n

The resolution said: \u201cIndia should, therefore, take necessary steps to ensure a total change of environment in Sri Lanka and a life of equality and peace to the Sri Lankan Tamils by redeeming their political, economic and cultural rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conference, in which no Sri Lankan Tamil political leader participated, asked the Union government to refrain from providing training to the Sri Lankan military in future in any state.<\/p>\n

The meet began at the YMCA Ground here as planned after the Madras High Court gave the go-ahead despite a police order denying permission.<\/p>\n

With the portrait of the S.J.V. Chelvanayagam, better known as Thanthai Selva, the Sri Lankan federalist, who first demanded a separate \u2018Eelam\u2019, adorning the venue where thousands assembled, the TESO conference began with a troupe singing a song Iruttaraiyil ullathada Eelam, angey elumbukoodaai irukkindraane Tamilan (\u2018Darkness envelopes Eelam, while the Tamilian languishes like a bag of bones\u2019) penned by DMK president M. Karunanidhi.<\/p>\n

14 resolutions passed<\/p>\n

Representatives from various countries participated in the conference, which passed 14 resolutions, none of which raised the \u2018Tamil Eelam\u2019 demand, but leaders such as Thol Thirumavalavan, president of the Viduthalai Chiruthaikal Katchi (VCK), were vociferous in the demand and wanted Mr. Karunanidhi to achieve the goal in his lifetime.<\/p>\n

A resolution accused the ruling AIADMK of being anti-Tamil Eelam in its attitude and condemned the hurdles it placed in the way of the conduct of the conference.<\/p>\n
