India struggles to react to Sri Lankan Issue
However, the disturbing factor is not the promises of the LTTE leader but the double standard shown by the Western governments towards the LTTE.

The Western governments are frantically trying to bring about a ceasefire to save the LTTE leaders from their extinction. This is clear from the calls from the US, UK and EU for an immediate ceasefire. The US even went the extra mile to ask the Sri Lankan government to offer the amnesty to the Tiger leaders and allow them to surrender to a third party.

Would US offer amnesty to Osama bin Laden if it ever managed to get him cornered? After all bin Laden hasn't committed as many suicide attacks as Velupillai Prabhakaran. Why is US pushing to save the LTTE leaders?
How has the West treated the Sri Lankan government in comparison for eliminating LTTE terrorism?

Britain, Germany and the Netherlands slashed aid to Sri Lanka in 2007 as the Sri Lankan government started the offensive to liberate the Eastern region from the LTTE terror. The US congress, successfully lobbied by the pro-LTTE Tamil Diaspora refused to include Sri Lanka in the Millennium Challenge Account, under which Sri Lanka would have received millions of dollars in aid for building critical infrastructure.

Adding insult to the injury, the Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton recently said that the US is disappointed with the Sri Lankan government for not agreeing to a ceasefire with the LTTE to prevent further civilian casualties and that the Sri Lankan government is not concerned about the civilian casualties.

"I think the Sri Lankan government knows that the entire world is very disappointed, that in its efforts to end what it sees as 25 years of conflict, it is causing such untold suffering," Hillary Clinton said in her appearance before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on April 23rd.

If Western governments offering amnesty assist to save the LTTE leaders, the terrorism will continue for another 30 years in Sri Lanka and another thousands of civilians will be killed, maimed, and left homeless. All those thousands of lives of soldiers, civilians, Sri Lankan political leaders like Lakshman Kadirgamar, Jeyaraj Fernandopulle, Neelan Thiruchelvam, lost to the LTTE terror campaign would be in vein.

  • As a matter of fact..the sinhalese are animals..violent and they do not practice what they preach in their religion. An impartial party like me feels that they are uncivilized, barbaric, extremely dumb and egoistic. I have met some Sinhala dickheads where i live and all of them are like barbarians. It makes me believe that the sri lankan govt is the main perpetrator for all "mysterious" disappearances of innocent Tamil civilians. Face the facts..Sinhalese are soooooooooo dumb..lol

  • Indira Gandhi Strated LTTE Terrorism in Sri Lanka in 1980.

    To thank her LTTE killed Rajiv Gandhi

    This is the Harvest...of terrorism

    Indians can enjoy it !

  • Who cares about Karuna Nidi, there are thousands die just in Culcata in starvation...

  • What double standard. Fucking idiots the government is making genocide. WTF are you talking about? The ceasefire is not for LTTE, it's for the civilians. Fuck stupid Indians.

  • Tamil Nadu politicians, by propping up the LTTE cause, are proving that they don't have India's national interest at heart. It is "Tamils" first, before India, regardless of whether the Tamils they are supporting are terrorists.

    It is in India's best interest to side with the Sri Lankan government and to root out the LTTE terrorist scourge from India as well.

  • hai india u people have worse issues than Sri lanka, food, medicine,killing, terrorist,powerty,discreminati­on of women,child slavery,and more and more.

  • This is a country that has no problems! 100% rich people. Politicians have no local issues, so they spend their valuable time to fix other countries issues. This is the most rich and generous country in the world bro!
