India rejects interfearance claims
8 March 2010 11:51 am - 18 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
The Indian government has rejected claims it interfeared in Sri Lanka’s internal affairs despite a top government Minister saying that "certain Indian officials" wanted president Mahinda Rajapaksa to lose the recent polls and worked towards it.India’s PTI news agency said that India rejected the allegations and said it is "scrupulously known for our non-interfearance in other's internal affairs."
In an interview with Daily Mirror online, Minister Nandana Goonathileke had claimed that India "strengthened" the LTTE and the country's intelligence agency -- RAW -- created other militant organizations in the country after recognizing that Sri Lanka has been building good relations with the US.
"Even at the recent presidential elections certain Indian officials did not want President Mahinda Rajapaksa to win. Not the Indian government or the Indian prime minister but certain individuals," he told Daily Mirror online.
However PTI quoted Indian sources as saying people make subjective assessments and objectively speaking President Mahinda Rajapaksa or any senior leader in Sri Lanka will agree that India does not interfere in other country's matters. (Daily Mirror online)

Have you forgotten that this man had been brainwahed on Indian Expasionism under those famous revolutionary five lectures of the sixties. A residue from the past.

Is India afraid that China is training Sri Lanka to become a dictatorship like Burma? Burma and Sri Lanka have become captive beggars of China!

This guy is with only limited education, lacking international political affairs, therefore don't take him as a serious guy. He just wanted to say something , as he had nothing to say.

Just come-out & prove your allegations, with evidence.

Interesting ... This happened when the Indian Foreign Secretary was still in Sri Lanka.

Goonathilake, if you have evidences please come out with the names? Dont fool around in the Int. politics please. Ah there were news items from the Govt. that some ployy to assassinate the clan brothers; but until now now names revealed. Gang of liars and there are enough fools in SL to believe it too.

OUR POLITICIANS SHOULD THINK BEFORE SAYING SOMETHING. UNQUALIFIED MINISTERS AND POLITICIANS ARE THE REASON FOR THE MESS.
Monday, 08 March 2010 02:36 PM
FIRST OF ALL, OUR NEIGHBOUR IS OUR BEST FRIEND IN NEED. SRI LANKA SHOULD RESPECT INDIA MORE THAN OTHERS. USA,EUROPE OR CHINA WILL NEVER HELP US IN DEED. THEIR INTERREST IS PROFITS ONLY.

TMVP to hold talks with Delhi ? Is this what you called no interferance by India?
Monday, 08 March 2010 12:09 PM
India needs to take these comments seriously, not merely reject them. After all the LTTE was born under the auspices of the then Indian Government to destabilise Sri Lanka. India also has discussions with various Political Groups in Sri Lanka close on the heels of elections especially. MM
