India interved on behalf of LTTE ? and that is the reason Rajiv Gandhi was assasinated by LTTE themselves ? ROFL ! kiddo go home .. long way off !
How india helped LTTE in early 80s is legendary. The extent to which india fell in supporting a barbaric terrorist organisation is known by people knowledgable in SL war. If you dont know that get educated. Calling others Kid wont help you. India is not what you think it is.
Just google Vadamarachchi operation
It is the battle where SL forces were about to crush the terrorists. The LTTE was finding hard to survive. India intervened on behalf of LTTE and pressurized SL to stop the war.
Not only that india armed and trained LTTE.
Worked against SL gover and tried to influence others not to sell weapons to SL and not to train SL gov. That is while LTTE was killing people without control in SL.
And now you wonder why LTTE killed rajiv if supported them so much. just like Al qaeda US love affair was broken, india and Ltte affair was broken. That is why !
Indira asked Thatcher to stop helping SL against LTTE
Wednesday, 22 January 2014 19:50
Former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had asked her British counterpart Margaret Thatcher to stop helping Sri Lanka with military advice to crush the separatist Tamil Eelam movement in the 1980s, according to newly declassified documents.
In a document relating to Sri Lanka, released by the National Archives in London under the 30-year declassification rule, a reference was apparently made to India’s suspicion in 1984 that Britain’s elite Special Air Service (SAS) was training the Sri Lankan military.
Gandhi told Thatcher: “We hope that you will use your influence to persuade (Sri Lanka’s) President (J R) Jayewardene to give a positive lead by making constructive suggestions at the All Parties Conference. Military aid and anti-insurgency assistance are not enough to overcome a political crisis which has to be faced and resolved.”
According to another document, the British government under Thatcher allowed former SAS officers to train Sri Lankan security forces against the LTTE.
The new set of documents, that will intensify speculation over SAS operations in the region, suggest that in September 1984, Peter Ricketts – private secretary to foreign secretary Geoffrey Howe – wrote to David Barclay – private secretary to then prime minister Thatcher – about a request to allow a British company with SAS connections to work in Sri Lanka.
The Sri Lankan government under President J R Jayewardene was then tackling the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) forces and other groups in the north and east of the island nation.
Ricketts wrote: “The Sri Lankan government have engaged another British company (name removed) to provide training in counter-terrorist techniques…The presence of (the company’s) employees, including some ex-SAS personnel, in Sri Lanka, has aroused controversy and the Indian government have expressed concern to us about the firm’s involvement.
“We have made it clear that this is a purely commercial matter and that HMG (Her Majesty’s Government) are not involved.”
The firm was allowed to continue working in Sri Lanka.

Not really.. India did intervene in 1987.. When the tigers were at the brink of being eliminated during the operation Poonmalai.
You need to verify your facts mate.. That was when India air dropped provisions to the LTTE by trespassing Lankan air space.. The LTTE was given a life line by India to cause mayhem for further 22 years killing thousands of more people
Rajiv was assassinated for his change of policy from his mother's.. He realized the danger the LTTE posed to the Indian union and by their paymasters in secessionist TN
Rajiv still helped LTTE. During the first peace talks, Thimpu talks india was the mediator. But still being the media going against ethical practices india trained LTTE and supported them secretly.
PLOTE, EPRLF, TELO were other terrorist orgs. These orgs acted according to the indian wishes but LTTE did not. LTTE didnt bow to india later, that was the reason.
@
Gibbs, there is a blog maintained by a veteran SL journo called Shamindra. His blog is slwaronterrorrevisited. Go and check it.
Did you get deported for being an idiot?
1. India DID NOT AIR DROP PROVISION to the LTTE (That was purely an allegation made by morons like you, when the SLAF detected an aircraft breaching SL airspace, it was later discovered to be a commercial flight). (Some moron alledged the Indian AF had dropped supplies to LTTE disguised as a commercial flight. I REPEAT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE AT ALL TO INDICATE INDIA DROOPED SUPPLIES TO LTTE. india foreign ministry further denied dropping any supplies.
2. It was not an indian 'intervention' again idiots trying to be drama queens state that. It was Indian 'support' received after the signing of the Indo-Lanka Accord. It was in no way an intervention
3. THE AIR DROP HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE 1987 INDIAN OPERATION.
4. 1987 INDIAN SUPPORT STEMS OUT OF THE GOD DAM INDO-LANKA ACCORD.
5. LASTLY IT WAS ONE ALLEGED SUPPLY DROP, THERE IS NO GOD DAM WAY IT SUPPLIED THE LTTE FOR THE NEXT 22 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!
STOP PULLING FACTS FROM THIN AIR
