We deal with India, not with its States, says Sri Lanka
Dismissing the unanimous resolution of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly that called upon the Government of India to impose economic sanctions against Sri Lanka and declare its President Mahinda Rajapaksa a war criminal, a Minister here said Sri Lanka dealt with India and not with individual States.
“The negative statements made by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa and the passing of, what appears to be, an anti-Sri Lankan resolution in the Tamil Nadu Assembly this week will take centre stage during the talks between the government and a high-power Indian delegation due in Sri Lanka,” the Daily Mirror online said, quoting Cabinet spokesperson and Media Minister Keheliya Rambukwella.
India’s Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao, Defence Secretary Pradeep Kumar and National Security Adviser Shiv Shankar Menon are to arrive here on Friday for talks with the President, External Affairs Minister G.L. Peiris and senior officials.
News agency Lankapuvath quoted Mr. Rambukwella as saying that the resolution was only a view point of the Tamil Nadu Assembly and Ms. Jayalalithaa was free to come over here with the permission of New Delhi to view the situation. The Minister recalled that even some years ago when Ms. Jayalalithaa made such adverse statements Colombo invited her here but she did not come.
Issue in Parliament
Tamil Nadu’s resolution was raked up in the Sri Lankan Parliament on Wednesday but the government evaded a reply. Opposition UNP member Ravi Karunanayake wanted the government to make a statement, but there was no response from the Treasury benches.
Speaking in Parliament, Professor Peiris sought to categorise all criticism against Sri Lanka as “hostile forces who are attempting to launch an onslaught against the country.”
According to the Sri Lankan government website, Newsline, he said those who cast the first stone must stand prepared to be judged by the standards which they purport to prescribe for the rest of humanity.
He said: “We do, however, need to remind ourselves of one basic imperative. At a time when forces hostile to our motherland are acting in concert to launch an onslaught against our vital national interest, there is no room for division on the basis of sectarian loyalty or party affiliation.”

Dear Mr Keheliya,
Do you know that India’s National Security Advisor, Mr Menon, who is a member of the delegation visiting Sri Lanka, stopped over in Tamil Nadu and had over an hour’s discussion with the Tamil Nadu CM, Ho Jayalalitha on the way to Colombo?
The Indians are a united community and all Indians are proud of their flag. This is not so in our beloved motherlad.
yes mr.keheliya,you are right.we do not need anyone to solve our srilanken problems. we srilanken capabel enought,way we did with tamiltigers.
It’s just a Bull Shit, if anyone think to Reverse the way SL has came forward till now…!
Hello Mr Kalla-T Pillayan,
How are you? Are you allright? How is you bag packing? It wont be long before you catch that bus to the hambantota Harbour to get on the boat to Big Mama Land.
There is a big delegation from India visiting Colombo now. They have all the details of the solution to the Kalla-T problem. Big Mama is really good to you people. She has found some rubbish tips to build houses for you people. All Kalla-T’s smell bad you know, and when you are living on the rubbish tips, your smell will overtake the smell of the rotting rubbish.
We tried to look after all the smelly Kalla-T’s for more than 6-0 yeras and you Kalla-T’s never appreciated what we gave you.
Instead, you train your young lassies to wear that specila Sun God Brand Bra and pull the trigger at the right time.
So Mr Kalla-T Pillayan, the Indian delegation and GL are signing the agreement to send all you Kalla-T’s to Big Mama Land.
Bye, Bye, Kalla-T’s.
Guru S,
Please do not lambast Mr Pillayan in this way. He is not a Kallathoni as you presume. So it is wrong of you to pick on him in this ugly way and ridicule him. He is as patriotic as you and I are. Don’t forget you and I both are descendents of Prince Vijaya and his retinue. SL Tamils came from S India in the wake of invasions since 300BC. More were brought in by British to work in their tea estates when the Sinhalese rightly refused and fought to drive out the white devils.
Indira Gandhi did a deal to take back 200,000 of these stateless Indian Tamils , but she re-negged on her deal with JR. Later she went further. The devilish woman, may she rot in hell, unleashed on SL the terrible scourge of LTTE who she created, nourished and funded to de-stablise and sabotage our efforts to be a highly developed nation in SE Asia. She was envious and wanted to prevent it. She paid with her life and with that of her son. Damn good!
We must all rally round our Hon President and his brothers 3, who are dedicated to develop our country as one nation. So please do not harrass genuine SL Tamils who have a right to live and contribute to the development of the country just as much as have. If you go about seeing kallathonis in every nook and cranny you will go mad ere long. So, isn’t it better in the spirit of Lord Buddha not to create divisions but to unite for the common good. Only JVP are anrchists, hell bent on creating divisions and chaos, to gain power. To hell with them!
Thank you Nicholas Kathawa Hari. Mama Liyanaekka Newathuwe Onna de nisai.
Weldone Mr. Keheliya,
No worries about Tamil Naadu Politics.
They should talk with the central government not with US.

Dear Amden
No religion teaches evil. The religious leaders who founded these religions did not teach evil. It is some followers of these religions who corrupted these religions. Some popes in the Middle Ages were corrupt. They had women on the side and even begot children. They went to war.
Islam means ‘peace’. It gave the world a beautiful culture. However, there were some followers of Islam in the past as well as today who were and are evil men. They wage wars and commit evil in the name of Islam. This is true in Hinduism as well. Hindus clashed with Muslims in India and killed hundreds of thousands over the centuries. This is true even today.
Religion has been debased by evil men who were born into these religions. They have not understood their religions and undergone moral change for the better. These men use religion as a cover for their evil deeds, bringing their religion a bad name. It is not the religion that is bad but some followers in name only. They are corrupt within and no religion can change them for the better. Karume karume!
Nico.. There’s no founder of religions alive today, so the present courses of actions in religions are the practical influences to the world. History has gone but what we’re doing now is going to effect on the people. So we must analyze the PRESENT not the PAST..!
Amden,
We have to learn from history. It hass a valuable lesson for us in the present. We can be proud of history if the past was good. History helps us to shape the future and plan the future. To correct past mistakes, not to make the same mistakes. If we took the correct course of action in the past then we follow the same path and even do better.
We have succumbed to imperial West in the path and let them USE us, to pillage our country and rob us. No more! Hence we resst them. We resist JVP, their path of chaos, blood and anarchy. We follow the path of unity of different cultures to form one SL. We do not allow the imperial West to divide and rule us again using the traitors within.
