"Modi has the blessings and support of the people of India. He should have respected Tamil sentiments and avoided inviting the Lanka President to his oath-taking ceremony," said DMK leader T. K. S. Elangovan.
Pertinently, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) supremo J Jayalalithaa is likely to skip Modi's oath-taking ceremony in New Delhi, said reports on Thursday.
AIADMK sources said Jayalalithaa took the decision a day after Modi invited Rajapaksa to his swearing-in.
