CHENNAI: Hundreds of IT professionals in the city on Monday wore white T-shirts with slogans printed on them to mark the launch of a series of non-violent campaigns to protest against the killing of Tamils in Sri Lanka.
The T-shirts were printed in Tamil with strong social expressions such as, ‘Stop war,’ and ‘Guns are heartless.’
Most of the participants were employees of Tata Consultancy Services, Cognizant, Infosys, HCL, Ramco Systems and Wipro.
The employees, irrespective of the language they spoke, gathered near Tidel Park and formed a human chain on the Rajiv Gandhi Road and expressed their solidarity with Sri Lankan Tamils.
“We will wear the T-shirts wherever we go and spread the message of peace,” said T.Senthilkumar, one of the participants.
Actors Suriya and Karthi participated in the campaign wearing the T-shirts.
“We will also organise a campaign for propagating the message of peace in Sri Lanka. We will mobilise public opinion through emails,” said one of the organisers.
