Protests by students on the Sri Lankan Tamils issue continued across Tamil Nadu on Wednesday, with law college students mainly in the fray.
About 40 students of Dr. Ambedkar Law University and Dr. Ambedkar Government Law College here, continued with their fast, demanding an independent probe against Colombo for alleged war crimes besides stressing for separate Eelam (homeland for Tamils).
Meanwhile, around 100 student activists, who had gathered outside the Income Tax office at Nungambakkam here demanding action on the Sri Lankan Tamils issue, were “secured”, police said.
