Remove him. otherwise, we will not allow him to play under csk team.” Another user said,”When you understand Pak players not being allowed in IPL, You should also understand Tamils not wanting SriLankan players in Tamil Nadu.” One more user mentioned,” From the Buddhist country that has an unofficial policy of torturing & killing TN fisherman, raping and torturing SriLankan tamil protestors, and taking away the lands of SL Tamils till date.”
