ELECTION EYE - Karunanidhi fasts over Sri Lanka Reuters: "* M. Karunanidhi, chief minister of Tamil Nadu, began an indefinite fast to protest against the Sri Lankan government, after they rejected an unilateral ceasefire announced by the Tamil Tigers. Two other ministers also joined the 84-year-old Karunanidhi in the fast. (CNN-IBN news channel)
Coming in the middle of elections, the government faces pressure to protect Tamils, who are closely linked to about 60 million Tamils in the state across a narrow strait from Sri Lanka.
Karunanidhi's Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), an ally of India's ruling coalition, has upped the rhetoric against the Sri Lankan military in the hope of appealing to Tamil voters."
