There is no emergency like Tsunami in Sri Lanka ,so no need to take all steps for the safety of Sri Lankan Tamils, Mr Minister!!

Two-cents Indian politicians should stop crying their crocodile tears and using SL as a tool to get cheap publicity. If they cared so much for tamils, then as the first sign, stop their fishermen from fishing in our waters.
