Chief Minister M.K. Stalin appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide a legal solution for Sri Lankan Tamils who have lived in Tamil Nadu for decades, calling for citizenship pathways, long-term visa relief, and removal of administrative barriers. He noted that many of these Sri Lankan Tamils came to India with the government's consent and that 40% of them were born on Indian soil.

Hon’ble @PMOIndia Thiru. @NarendraModi, please provide a humane legal solution for Sri Lankan Tamils living in Tamil Nadu for decades by enabling citizenship pathways, granting long term visa relief, and removing administrative barriers that keep them in legal uncertainty.
மாண்புமிகு பிரதமர் அவர்களே, தமிழ்நாட்டில் வசித்து வரும் இலங்கைத் தமிழர்கள் இந்திய அரசின் ஆதரவோடும் ஒப்புதலோடும் இங்கு வந்தவர்கள். 30 ஆண்டுகளுக்கும் மேலாக இந்திய மண்ணில் வாழ்ந்து வருபவர்கள். அதிலும் 40% பேர் நம் மண்ணில் பிறந்தவர்கள்!
எனவே, அவர்களைச் சட்டவிரோதமாகக் குடியேறிவர்களாகக் கருதிடக் கூடாது. அவர்களுக்கான குடியுரிமை உள்ளிட்ட சட்டப்பூர்வமான தீர்வுகளை இந்திய அரசு வழங்கிட முன்வர வேண்டும்.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin appealed directly to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide what he called a 'humane legal solution' for Sri Lankan Tamils who have been living in Tamil Nadu for decades. In his tweet, Stalin asked the Union government to enable pathways to citizenship, grant long-term visa relief, and remove administrative barriers that he said keep these individuals in legal uncertainty. He stated that Sri Lankan Tamils in Tamil Nadu had originally come to India with the consent and support of the Indian government, that many have lived in the country for more than 30 years, and that 40% of them were born in India. Stalin argued that this population should therefore not be treated as illegal migrants, and called on the Union government to extend legal solutions, including citizenship, to them. The tweet frames this as a humanitarian and diaspora-related request directed at the central government rather than an announcement of any Tamil Nadu state government scheme.
