AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa today urged the Centre to expedite immediate measures for the rehabilitation of internally displaced persons (IDP) in Sri Lanka as well as ensure equal status for them on the lines of the majority Sinhalese in the island nation.

Saying that the "miserable comditions" of the Tamils in Sri Lanka "continued" despite the end of the war (against the LTTE), she also criticised India for supporting Sri Lanka's resolution in the United Nations Human Rights Council, seen as a counter by the island government to a draft Swiss-EU resolution calling for a probe into alleged human rights violations during the offensive.

"India should expedite immediate measures for the rehabilitation of IDP in Sri Lanka as well as ensure equal status for them on the lines of the majority Sinhalese in the island nation," she said in a statement here.

On the India's support to the Sri Lanka's resolution, she asked whether DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi "had asked the Centre anything about this."
