Tamil Protest Fallout : Abhishek-Aishwarya Out Of Sri Lanka IIFA

Tamil groups from around the world have been urging the Bachchan family not to associate with the present Sri Lanka regime which is accused of worst human rights abuses. They say if a globally revered family like that of Amitabh Bachchan show solidarity with the present Mahinda Rajpaksa regime then that would mean lending credibility to a regime which has destroyed Tamils ruthlessly and committed horrendous human rights violations.

Abhishek and Aishwarya have said they will not be attending the Colombo event because of prior commitments at the Cannes Festival and other personal reasons. Mani Ratnam has already pulled out ‘Raavan’ from the IIFA event in Colombo.

While on the same topic Amitabh Bachchan is yet to clear his stand on Tamil protests against his participation but he is likely to attend for a day, because of him being the IIFA brand ambassdor.
