PMK Founder Demands Voting Rights for Sri Lankan Tamil Refugees in TN

A leader named S. Ramadoss wants people from Sri Lanka who have been living in India for many years to be treated like regular citizens.

Many of these people came to India a long time ago because of a war in their country.

They live in special camps, and even though they work and go to school in India, they don't have the same rights as other Indians.

Ramadoss says they should be allowed to vote and get jobs like other people.

He mentioned that people from Nepal and Bhutan have more rights, and countries like Canada have given citizenship to Sri Lankan Tamils.

He believes giving them voting rights will help them get the help they need to live better lives.
