The Nadigar Sangam seems to be ready to undertake the fast which has planned on the 1st of November to express solidarity with the Lankan Tamils who are killed in the crossfire between Sri Lankan forces and the LTTE.

With the Union government assuring to look into the issue, the Lankan Tamil matter is off the boil in Tamilnadu. Representatives of the Nadigar Sangam have confirmed that emotions and tempers would not flare at the proposed one-day fast organized by the association over the Lankan issue.

Emotional speeches marked the rally at Rameswaram organized by the film fraternity on October 19 eventually leading to the arrest of directors Seeman and Ameer. Cases of sedition were filed against them.

A grand dais has been erected at the Nadigar Sangam for the fast which would be staged between 8 am and 4 pm. Rumors are doing the rounds that both Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan have confirmed their participation in the fast.
