That was the lawyers supporting the movement. You wouldn't see any public supporting the Tigers, leave alone involving in it.

These (the PM's declarations) were reports taken from the recent few years. However, India has been actively arming, training & giving financial support to both TELO & LTTE for about 15 years, and especially in the 1980's.

India became involved in the conflict in the 1980s for a number of reasons, including its leaders' desire to project India as the regional power in the area and worries about India's own Tamils seeking independence. The latter was particularly strong in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, where ethnic kinship led to strong support for independence for Sri Lankan Tamils. Throughout the conflict, the Indian central and state governments have supported both sides in different ways. Beginning in the 1980s, India, through its intelligence agency R&AW, provided arms, training and monetary support to a number of Sri Lankan Tamil militant groups, including the LTTE and its rival Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization (TELO). The LTTE's rise is widely attributed to the initial backing it received from R&AW. It is believed that by supporting different militant groups, the Indian government hoped to keep the Tamil independence movement divided and be able to exert overt control over it.

India became more actively involved in the late 1980s, and on June 5, 1987, the Indian Air Force airdropped food parcels to Jaffna while it was under siege by Sri Lankan forces. At a time when the Sri Lankan government stated they were close to defeating the LTTE, India dropped 25 tons of food and medicine by parachute into areas held by the LTTE in a direct move of support toward the rebels. Negotiations were held, and the Indo-Sri Lanka Peace Accord was signed on July 29, 1987, by Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Sri Lankan President Jayewardene. Under this accord, the Sri Lankan Government made a number of concessions to Tamil demands, including devolution of power to the provinces, a merger—subject to later referendum—of the Northern and the Eastern provinces into the single province, and official status for the Tamil language (this was enacted as the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka). India agreed to establish order in the North and East through a force dubbed the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF), and to cease assisting Tamil insurgents. Militant groups including the LTTE, although initially reluctant, agreed to surrender their arms to the IPKF, which initially oversaw a cease-fire and a modest disarmament of the militant groups.

The signing of the Indo-Lanka Accord, so soon after JR Jayawardene's declaration that he would fight the Indians to the last bullet, led to unrest in south. The arrival of the IPKF to take over control of most areas in the North of the country enabled the Sri Lanka government to shift its forces to the south (in Indian aircraft) to quell the protests. This led to an uprising by the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna in the south, which was put down bloodily over the next two years.

But there is no concrete proof of the Pakistani government's involvement in aiding the Taliban, but it isn't true in the case of India's LTTE or Mukti Bahini support against Sri Lanka & Pakistan respectively.

India has been directly involved inside Sri Lanka & East Pakistan, aiding the rebels that fought against the central government:

On June 5th 1987 India stepped into a more active role. Jaffna, the capital of the Tamil-majority North province, was under siege by the Sri Lankan forces. There were claims that the government were on the verge of defeating the LTTE. In a direct move to help the rebels, the Indian Air Force dropped aid parcels into Jaffna weighing 25 tons in total.

Pakistani forces have never stepped foot into another country aiding rebels against the main government. India has.

I know you like to argue in circles. are you gonna sit there and argue your government has no hand in Taliban's creation? You really think so?

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

very true......but then again, india is known to be a not-so-friendly neighbour. That's why there are always 'contingency' plans in place.

Yes, there is no concrete evidence that Pakistan created the Taliban. It was created by ethnic Afghan Pashtuns inside Afghanistan, who got support from the FATA regions in Pakistan by certain people. If you have any conclusive evidence that the Pakistani government did so, please present it here.

We Tamils have an obligation to support the suffering Tamils in Lanka. So the India government has to be very careful in dealing with Lanka. Still India Ignored all the opposition from Tamil Nadu to support SL in destroying LTTE even at the cost of a genocide of Tamils there. You gotta be sensitive to these issues.

What makes you think Gilgit-Baltistan wants to get separated from Pakistan? There are only two separatist movements in Balochistan, from BLF & the BLA. There are over 120 separatist movements in India, more than half your country wants to get separated from the central government in Delhi. I fully support that part of your country against India.
