⁣His speech:
Mr President! Leaders of the World! If oppressed minority nations such as Tamil Eelam cannot make representations to this supreme body, then where are we to go?
My name is Krishna and I come from the 2½ million strong Nation of Tamil Eelam lying between Sri lanka and India. The Sri Lanka Sinhala government is continuing a policy of genocide aimed at the destruction of our Tamil Nation.
We have exercised our right of self-determination to live as a separate Nation.
There is every danger of the Tamil problem threatening the peace of the Indian Region.
The problem in Sri Lanka will develop to be as serious as the Palestinian and the Cyprus problems unless you, the world leaders intervene and help in its solution now.
We appeal to you for such help! Thank you. I apologise for speaking without permission.
LONG LIVE TAMIL EELAM!
