Urging the Sri Lankan government to implement ceasefire at once, actor Vijay on Sunday spoke a few words in Sinhala so that 'those at the helm of affairs in the island nation could understand it and stop attacking innocent Tamils.'

At a hunger protest organized by the actor's fan club in Chennai, he hoped that the attack on Tamils would certainly come to an end in the neighboring country.

Vijay arrived at the venue along with his mother Shobha Chandrasekhar. Clad in black, he welcomed his fans and urged their co-operation to carry the protest in a peaceful manner.

Expressing confidence that the war would come to an end soon in neighboring Sri Lanka, Vijay said, 'we can't go to the country straight away and fight for the cause. This is an attempt to show our support for them', he said. He also spoke a few words in Sinhala.
