China and Pak armed Lanka, India will feed it

[BaburCM]

Let me refresh your memory:

Remember India Peace Keeping Forces In Sri Lanka was the Indian military contingent performing a peacekeeping operation in Sri Lanka between 1987 and 1990. It was formed under the mandate of the Indo-Sri Lankan Accord signed between India and Sri Lanka in 1987 that aimed to end the Sri Lankan Civil War between militant Sri Lankan Tamil nationalists such as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the Sri Lankan military.


The main task of the IPKF was to disarm the different militant groups, not just the LTTE. It was to be quickly followed by the formation of an Interim Administrative Council. These were the as per the terms of the accord signed between India and Sri Lanka, at the behest of Rajiv Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India. Given the escalating level of the conflict in Sri Lanka, and with the pouring of refugees into India, Rajiv Gandhi, took the decisive step to push this accord through. The IPKF was inducted into Sri Lanka on the request of then-Sri Lankan president J. R. Jayewardene under the terms of the Indo-Sri Lanka Accord. Currently LTTE is proscribed as a terrorist organization by the United States and European Union.
The force was initially not expected to be involved in any significant combat by the Indian High Command. However, within a few months, the IPKF became embroiled in battle with the LTTE to enforce peace. The differences started with LTTE trying to dominate the Interim Administrative Council, and also refusing to disarm, which was a pre-condition to enforce peace in the island. Soon, these differences led to the LTTE attacking the IPKF, at which point the IPKF decided to disarm the LTTE militants, by force if required. In the two years it was in northern Sri Lanka, the IPKF launched a number of combat operations aimed at destroying the LTTE-led insurgency. Given LTTE's tactics in guerrilla warfare and using women and child soldiers to fight battles, it soon escalated into repeated skirmishes between the IPKF and LTTE.

The IPKF began withdrawing from Sri Lanka in 1989, following the election of the Vishwanath Pratap Singh government in India and on the request of the newly-elected Sri Lankan President Ranasinghe Premadasa.

The last IPKF contingents left Sri Lanka in March 1990.


If that not called involvement than I don't know what is......

India was involved in Sri Lanka much earlier than Pakistan and China .... so your claim that India only got interested in Sri Lanka after China got Involved....is not correct.

You don't need to refresh my memory. Of course, India has somewhat been involved in SL over the past years. However, not at the scale that they suddenly are. India is openly expressing discontent about Chinese and Pakistani involvement in SL. Even SL doesn't seem to have any issues with our assistance. Why are you so worried? India is full of mistrust and misconceptions.

LOLZ So, now I'm hateful. WHy is it always that when someone speaks the truth they are labelled as hateful? Nevertheless, all I can do at your comment is laugh.

Because you don't digest the fact that india have been helping srilanka right after independence and the relationship with srilanka didnt start just yesterday.. You also fail to understand that indian help is to help the economy which suffered badly due to years of war. And still you are RANTING about india's poverty. Any sane person reading your comments can only make out hate from your post, because only reasoning you gave for indias aid to srilanka was..because china and pakistan are helping srilanka..!!! And you also said india shouldn't be helping others because india is Underdeveloped.!!!! You need to read your post clearly buddy on to see what you have written.. !!!! And stop derailing the thread and discuss on what more can be done to help srilanka..!!!

Now that is called beating around the bush......


Pakistan is angry because India is concerned over Other countries being involved in Sri Lanka......


I have only one answer this may look like a question to you......Why is Pakistan concerned over India's Involvement in Afghanistan...

If Pakistan has a right to be worried about India's involvement in Infrastructure projects in Afghanistan.....India has right to be worried about Pakistan's and China's growing influence in Sri Lanka......

If Pakistan thinks India is encircling Pakistan by helping Afghanistan...than whats wrong in India believing that Pakistan and China are trying to encircle India by helping Sri Lanka.......



Coming back to the discussion: India has a moral obligation to help Sri Lanka by virtue of being a neighbor....and yes their is some Diplomatic gain by doing the same...... aren't China and Pakistan doing the same...for same reasons...

LOL Always fun to see how Indians gang up. Well, I've made my point and it's useless to repeat myself over and over again. If you beg to differ, be my guest. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. I still believe that India is in no position to provide help to anyone whilst a large proportion of its own population is dying to due hunger and disease. It doesn't do any justice.

@ and isnt it well justified ? pakistani and chinese intervention in sri lanka will put india's security in jeopardy.
now its the same as indian involvement in - afghan to pakistan.


Even SL doesn't seem to have any issues with our assistance.

@ of course nobody will have any issue , i mean if pakistan supply weapons to india without much question asked, we will be more than happy to have your f-16 or guns. if you want you can get them delivered to PMO Use DHL its faster service.


Why are you so worried?

Because it will provide pakistani and chinese defence intervention in srilanka to use it later gainst india. this is only peaceful edge or boundry of india. where we dont really have much to worry about.


India is full of mistrust and misconceptions.

Well mistrust yes - but we mistrust chinese for what they did in 60's and pakistani indian - conflict meands your cant really trust each other on defence and security issues.

Misconception - that's not true infact you are in deep misconception seeing just one side of the coin.

I'm not leaving. If there's anyone that should be leaving it's you. It's hard to swallow the truth, I know.

The truth is India is Developing country just like yours......and its helping a neighbor...just like your country did.......

 

[notsuperstitious]

Just feed your own before lecturing others

and practice what you preach.

 

[IceCold]

Are we discussing India poverty...


I guess not...

It would be better if we do that. Perhaps seeing a mirror wouldnt hurt that much....now would it unless of course you are an ego maniac who thinks India is a super power.
Since India is worried too much about its neighbors, its about time it starts worrying about it self as well and stop meddling unnecessary in other countries affairs.

Feel free... I still believe India needs to worry about its own problems. Instead of meddling in others' affairs.

Since when did Sri Lanka become a Pakistan affair....

And since when did providing aid become Meddling with a countries affairs...

Well, providing support to terrorist outfits such as LTTE is certainly meddling in the affairs of others. Let's not pretend otherwise.

Two things :

1stly, No one other than India should have to take a call on this.

2ndly, most of India's probs arise from its neighbourhood.

Going off topic gain......




India supported Tamil elam at certain time and some sections in South India did support tamil liberation....India did not support LTTE...........Indian army did fight LTTE.....Remember IPKF I discussed some time back.......or do you suffer from short term memory loss.......


No more discussion with you.....

Now you can go ahead and post all the BS you want to......shout anti India slogans....write anything..and everything you like......

 

[IceCold]

Its not, they requested, we provided however since that time we saw rants and a whole lot of rants from our neighbors.
You see providing aid is not meddling but then again is aid the only thing that you guys are concerned about? I would like an honest answer from you on that one.
