While claiming that the agreement to provide warships to Sri Lanka was signed several years ago, India today said if Tamils were to be harmed by those warships, it would take suitable action.

“If Tamils were to be harmed by India giving the warships to Sri Lanka, then we will talk to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and take suitable action. The agreement to provide war ships to Sri Lanka was signed several years before,” Union Minister of State V. Narayanasamy told media at the Chennai airport.

“We have already advised Sri Lanka that the ships should not be used in any confrontation with Tamils, if it happened, we will inform the Prime Minister,” he added.

He also said that the Congress party did not like Sri Lanka to be divided. “Both Sinhalese and Tamil people must act in conformity with Sri Lankan constitution, the Congress Party does not like that country to be divided,” he said.

Further, he said that on the basis of Rajiv-Jayewardene Accord (The Indo-Lanka Agreement of 1987), the 13th Amendment to the Constitution should be implemented in full and the Indian government had been persuading the Sri Lankan government in this regard.

Then How about your Tamil Nodu political jokers comments on Sri Lanka. Pot calling kettle black.

BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 11 September 2013 10:59 AM

This is the level of typical sri lankan ignorance on international issues.

Amir Wednesday, 11 September 2013 09:27 AM

why do we need war ships now?

Suq Madique Wednesday, 11 September 2013 09:23 AM

And you are a buffalo on the outside but a tiger supporter on the inside.

Suq Madique Wednesday, 11 September 2013 09:21 AM

We may accept it humbly but whether we accede to their demands is another thing.

Suq Madique Wednesday, 11 September 2013 09:19 AM

Actually these same lion puppets annihilated the worlds worst terrorist group. Not bad huh?

Abdul Tuesday, 10 September 2013 12:28 PM

Giving us ships with conditions! Who asked ships from them in the 1st place ? they can feed millions of people in India using this money.

Rakesh Wednesday, 11 September 2013 08:25 AM

Your comments shows your immaturity and lack of political acumen...

BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 11 September 2013 07:43 AM

Big talk inside the country but beggars outside.

BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 11 September 2013 07:40 AM

No way, the local puppets have accepted it humbly according to what has been demanded.

BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 11 September 2013 07:39 AM

Because we are brave lions in face but actually puppets from behind.

The cool guy Wednesday, 11 September 2013 06:45 AM

for your information... we are getting those war ships for free just like we got bull-dossers and low floor buses (which was parked in galle face) few months back. Its no secret that we can't even buy our own bull-dossers.

mc Wednesday, 11 September 2013 06:17 AM

tata or mahindra ? no problem. since they are in seas i will keep driving my car on the roads. i am not scared.

The Joker Wednesday, 11 September 2013 05:03 AM

They can take their crappy ships and shove it where the sun don't shine. What? It may be a tad too big for that? No worries because these faggots are quite use to it.

Concerned Citizen Tuesday, 10 September 2013 11:55 PM

War Ships are acquired to defend the country. If Tamil nadu engages in hostile action against Sri Lanka, then Sri Lanka will need these ships and other to defend the country. So India will have to reword its statement to say "Sri Lanka should not use this for aggression against Indian states, but could use for defensive purposes"

Priya Tuesday, 10 September 2013 11:19 PM

Isn't this a commercial transaction?
So, why are there conditions on how to run our sovereign country attached?

Russel Tuesday, 10 September 2013 07:54 PM

yuddeta nathi kaduwa kos kotannada?

Grace Tuesday, 10 September 2013 04:38 PM

Ridiculous condition by a political joker from Tamil Nadu.

ANTON Tuesday, 10 September 2013 04:14 PM

YES, THOSE TOO WILL BE SOLD AS SCRAP.

Ari Tuesday, 10 September 2013 12:46 PM

Sri Lanka will use its defence equipment including ships to defend its terrritory againt any adversity whether it is Tamil, Singalese or any other race.
