but it wont diminish the importance of india on SL. i dont know y ppl cant understand this, india is an asset for SL. Use it and manage it well, it would be very advantageous.

Sri Lanka needs to get its act together and not blame the rest of the world. Introspection is needed badly!
Suresh Sunday, 12 August 2012 06:21 AM
RAW never created LTTE. Read history before comment. SL create it.
mendis Sunday, 12 August 2012 06:23 AM
Nothing to get excited about. This is the usual 'ball play' to stretch up to the next term.
Ganja Sunday, 12 August 2012 07:16 AM
Yes you need that much military present there, otherwise, we have to suffer again with another war. the presence of military in the north and east is a protective measures only, please try to understand.
lalith Sunday, 12 August 2012 07:32 AM
india doesnt want other countries becoming more powerful... are are already very hostile towards pakistan and china... they want to other smaller countries dependent on india so that they can use them against pakistan and china...
mani Sunday, 12 August 2012 07:40 AM
Not Sri lankans, it's Singalese who don't want to share anything with Tamil
lankan Sunday, 12 August 2012 07:56 AM
So what, he is talking for the good of country unlike many who comment here and the politicians, who thinks only for their sake n their view.
Kalana Sunday, 12 August 2012 08:26 AM
Well said, keep in mind, don't trust indians when dealing with them. They think their profits only.
Jagath Leanage Sunday, 12 August 2012 09:19 AM
Dear Mr.B.Wijesinghe,
I want to take you down the memory lane. Can you remember, India droping dry ration from planes & helicopters during JR administration? They violated International Air Trafic Laws. But no country open their mouth. Why? They allways have more closer relation ship than S.L .Even U.S.,USSR,China,UK, E.E.C.countries - all are more closer to India. Their air and sea power is very poweful and can destroy our power in matter of minutes.Distance between India & S.L is just 28 miles where China have thousands.
Bonnie Mallie Sunday, 12 August 2012 09:40 AM
no no..Sri Lankans want it...only buddhist extremists don;t want it
kumaraya Sunday, 12 August 2012 10:47 AM
I remember listening to Dixit in 1987. He said, "You (Sri Lanka) can do anything so long as it is not outside of India's interests". We must learn to follow a well-planned path, totally independent of all big nations. It can be done, if we make up our minds to do so.
sach Sunday, 12 August 2012 11:08 AM
It was not india that created LTTE. It was the policies of selfish sinhala leaders that lead to whole of this. They never cared for the country or the future of this country. had they were a bit selfless and foresighted things could have been very different. india was an oppotunistic power who used it. The Q is have we understood our mistakes and ready to correct them.
Jegath Sunday, 12 August 2012 05:52 AM
Remember what JR did in 83?These so called "brothers" had the backing of JR for their own survival and they ran havoc in N/E, so it gives JR a reason to take police powers away, just read the history boy.

Alwis Sunday, 12 August 2012 03:45 PM
Nodrog so you still don't know what the tamil issues are, even after all these years. Wonder which planet you live in
Richardson Sunday, 12 August 2012 03:55 PM
We need real friends,not like the Indians.We can count on Pakistan and China ,beware of the snakes in the grass.
Alwis Sunday, 12 August 2012 03:48 PM
you got it wrong mate, India is not asking fro SL support, it is Sl that is asking for India's support to get out of this HR mess
Richardson Sunday, 12 August 2012 03:57 PM
We consider any country who supported the LTTE as our enemies and pirah dogs
Alwis Sunday, 12 August 2012 03:49 PM
funny Nicky you live in srilanka and call america a pariah state

Thats wise said by our respectable president, We should allow more investors from Our true long term friends China and Pakistan, Instead of Fake Friend India.Pakistan and China always helps us in need and they deserve more oppurtunities in our country.

Saskia Saturday, 11 August 2012 01:34 PM
He is big lair. What about the promises he has given to India about the implementation of 13 th amendment. Nobody is ready to believe his words anymore.
Jawfer Saturday, 11 August 2012 03:00 PM
Last 50 years we are talking but no actions
What ever said no body ready to find a lasting solution for minority issues . President can buy the time telling these reasons and excuses but problems remain same.
Barath Saturday, 11 August 2012 03:27 PM
President has to rethink his political agendas.
CHANDRAPALA Saturday, 11 August 2012 03:15 PM
Country needs more friends rather than more enemies especially, at a time the country is facing many HR violation charges.
ss Saturday, 11 August 2012 03:44 PM
SL made a blunder by not solving any issues of tamils.
This is a blunder and SL can't take world will follow its loop infinitely.....Ultimately tamil nadu tamis vote for centre and not sinhala! So India bound to turn to tamil nadu only.
Pity that SL lose its moral locus standi.
sam Saturday, 11 August 2012 04:11 PM
can you remember what your brothers did after JRJ signed the 13th amendment???
do you know why then gvt removed the police power for provincial council ???
just read the history man
abdbul Saturday, 11 August 2012 05:11 PM
putting down china in front of india is bad move. china helped us a lot. we should give 1st preference to china.
Mr. B Wijeyasingha Saturday, 11 August 2012 06:56 PM
You start with "what ever said and done" thereby excusing India's support of the Tamil Tigers, then you go on to state "We cannot antagonize India" does that mean India can antagonize Sri Lanka? India maybe the strongest nation in South Asia but China is far more powerful and was the 1st nation to invest in post Civil war Sri Lanka while India slapped a human rights violation on Sri Lanka.
Mr. B Wijeyasingha Saturday, 11 August 2012 07:01 PM
When the Times of India reporter stated that 70% of the Sri Lankan military is still in the northern and Eastern provinces it showed how much the propaganda of the Tamil Diaspora is taking root in Indian politics. It was wise of President Rajapakse to take the "non alliance" stand or to put it in another way a neutral stand regarding the power play between India and China in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka should remain neutral to a growing confrontations as India and the US are now fully engaged in the containment policy of China.
Automatic Saturday, 11 August 2012 07:40 PM
India made it clear from the start that if the UN resolution contained any of the grievances that India has towards SL on the Human Rights issue it would support the resolution. And the resolution contained many issues that Inda along with the international community has tried to address since 2010 with the GOSL which has been dragging its feet on the issue and as a result very little meaningful progress has been made. That is why this resolution came into being in the first place and was supported by many countries and that is why we are where we are today.
Rajash Saturday, 11 August 2012 07:44 PM
....you made superpower India smaller than tiny Sri Lanka
Jagath Leanage Saturday, 11 August 2012 07:47 AM
What ever said and done, India is the strongest nation in South Asia. When deal matters we must keep that in mind. We cant antogonised India. We can learn lesson from the past what has happend by antogonising them.
Political Illiterate Saturday, 11 August 2012 10:45 PM
I am confused.
History is not a subject anymore and Our heritage by S. F. De Silva is no more a prescribed text for this subject too! How can we ask anybody about history when it is not taught in school anymore.
Who did away with History as a subject? Good question and who will give an answer!
Jayasiri Saturday, 11 August 2012 11:39 PM
India trained LTTE,, why support Inida?
Jena Sunday, 12 August 2012 12:57 AM
haah.. don't fool the people president.. I don't know why you guys wanted to grow up anti-india sentiments here in SL despite having got lots of helps from india in wiping out the terrorism here.. How many Heavy shooting guns , ships , Tankers , Radars tht india gave secretly without the aware of TN people.. Further military training , information about the LTTE's Sea Weapon Transportation Networks ?? I know, still at higher level both governments have a strong relationship but not sure why SL politicians and you too now keep gargling anti-indian statements.. Any political benefits ??
Sinhala Kolla Sunday, 12 August 2012 01:02 AM
Yes for the past 5o years you have been electing fools and bufoons.Is it any wonder that the only things these fools have is a big mouth, a small brain, big muscles (thugs) . Good luck with your failed state....

Guys, what's wrong with hispolitical responses! Good on you MR!
nicky karunarathna Sunday, 12 August 2012 02:49 AM
What India has to learn from its past is - that to understand India is still a immatured nation. India has to learn international politics and geopolitical issues before taking action or decision as a soverign nation rather than becoming a signal post to so-called big powers. In fact USA is not big power in the world when it come to its ethics and morals. It is a big bully or big thug. Or in other words, pariah nation. Wise can see now after 50 years of lapse, US cleaning its mess created in Vietnam with poisonous Orange Agent and also in Laos and other neighbouring countries. In Japan if they start their cleaning acts of misdoings - it will take another hundreds of years. So why anyone respect this pariah nation? For what? In your normal life when you see a dangerous thug - what are you normally do? Ignore!
Richardson Sunday, 12 August 2012 03:20 AM
A lot of people still suck up to India They can't see beyond their nose. INDIA the RAW created the LTTE problem to destroy us
Israel Does not suck up to big Arab Countries for survival
Mr. President, Sir ,we are with you on this issue
Mason Sunday, 12 August 2012 04:21 AM
You have given many assurances to India which up to now you have not fulfilled. However, you have the audacity to ask India to re-look at their dealings with their neighbours.
Why not you Mr. President re-look your doings in Sri Lanka, which is making the people poorer by the day, not to mention more scared by the day due to the deteriorating law and order situation.
Remove the mote from your eye before you point the dust in the other's.
Sammy Sunday, 12 August 2012 04:30 AM
There should be integrity in what MR says & does, before trying to advise others. When there is a disparity between talk and action, then there is room left for others to come in, especially when security issues are involved.
Nodrog Sunday, 12 August 2012 04:51 AM
All you guys who talk of tamil 'issues' please enlighten us on what these issues are. How come you dont have issues with India who created this whole unholy mess by nurturing and financing the LTTE?
