India should not support US resolution on Sri Lanka: RSS
Taking a stand at variance with that of the BJP, the RSS on Sunday said India should not support the US-sponsored resolution in the UN against the Sri Lankan government on alleged human rights violations, calling it an attempt by the west to dictate to a democratic government.
BJP has been sympathetic to the resolution in the UN Human Rights Council and has supported regional parties -- DMK and AIADMK -- in demanding that the UPA government should make its stand clear on whether it would support the move. RSS maintained India should take an "unequivocal stand" against the US resolution.
"If India baulks today and adopts a 'neutral' position, it would find itself in the dock one day. India by its geo-political position must take a robust stand against the west interfering in issues not concerning them directly.
There is no case for the US or any European nations to dictate to a democratically elected government," said RSS.
It adds that India should not support this attempt to humiliate it in a world forum that "belongs as much to us as it does to the West".
RSS accuses LTTE of committing atrocities on ethnic Tamils and appears to support the Sri Lankan government which crushed the outfit.
"While accusing the Sri Lankan government of human rights violations, one must remember that the enemy was not a hapless, unarmed group of peaceful activists. The cadres of LTTE were armed to the teeth with the latest machine guns, rocket launchers ," RSS said.
The RSS Organiser further states that the last few weeks of the war that are under scrutiny now witnessed a pitched battle in which both sides "killed and got killed unrestrained".
"The number of child soldiers LTTE chief V Prabhakaran recruited and trained has not been documented. Boys and girls were picked up at an unsuspecting age, fed on a liberal dose of LTTE literature enumerating the torture and humiliation of the Tamils by the Lankans and were prepared to 'fight' on the command of the well-structured LTTE 'army'," the RSS said.
A Parliamentary delegation led by Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj and senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu is slated to visit Sri Lanka soon.
"The Tamils of Sri Lanka are citizens of that country. At best, India has an interest and moral responsibility to speak for them, which India has been doing all these decades. But it makes no case for anybody else to intervene," RSS said.
RSS is vehemently against the US resolution in the UN on Sri Lanka.
