Baalu drives Vavuniya collector to tears




Express News Service


COLOMBO: The leader of the Tamil Nadu MPs’ delegation to Sri Lanka, T R Baalu, on Sunday drove a Sri Lankan Tamil lady official to tears by throwing his weight around and using harsh language.




Mrs B S M Charles, Government Agent (Collector) of Vavuniya district in north Sri Lanka told Express over the phone that Baalu questioned her bona fides and asked her not to interfere in the programme of the Indian delegation who were visiting Tamil war refugee camps of their choice. His authoritarian tone upset her so much that she broke into tears, she said.

On seeing what had happened to the already over-worked lady official, Kanimozhi castigated Baalu. Other members of the delegation apologised to Charles. Baalu did not apologise . He simply asked Charles to ignore his remarks.


Charles said all she had done was to make arrangements as per the wishes of the delegation. The MPs wanted to go to the Kadirgamar camp and to a farm managed by the refugees. It was when this was being arranged, that Baalu intervened in a high-handed manner.
