Film producer AVM Saravanan giving away the life time achievement award to music director Deva at a function in Chennai yesterday. PMK leader Ramadoss, poet Pulamaipithan and Tamil Nationalist Movement leader S Nedumaran are also seen.

        Tamil Nationalist Movement leader P Nedumaran urged the State not to support the Central government's move to provide military support to Sri Lankan Army.

        Chief Minister M Karunanidhi should do the needful to protect the rights of Tamils in Lanka and have to take a firm stand to oppose military aid to Lankan Army, he said at an awards function yesterday organised by V S Guhanathan Trust.

        PMK founder S Ramadoss gave away the life-time achievement award to music director Deva. A Tamil book Kaatthalum Alithalum written by yesteryear director V S Guhanathan was also released on the occasion.

        Film producer A V M Saravanan said Deva was a gifted music composer who has the capability to produce tuneful number catering to the requirement and preference of the director.

        Dalit Panthers of India leader and MLA Selvaperunthagai pointed out the killing of Tamil fishermen by Lankan Army was continuing without abatement in high seas. 'Despite the adamant behaviour of Sri Lanka, the Indian government has not initiated any sort of action to curb such merciless killings of fishermen.'

        Poet Pulamaipithan and PMK president and MLA G K Mani were among others who spoke at the function.
