There is wide spread criticism against the uttering of Mr. Ponseka, Sri Lankan Army chief. He called Tamil Nadu politicians as Clowns. I do not know why he called them so. But I can compare the reactions of Indian politicians against terrorism, supposedly sponsored by Pakistan and Terrorism by LTTE, and come to some conclusions about the above uttering.
Lashkar- e-Toiba. The terror outfit functioning in Pakistan demonstrated their cowardism in Mumbai, recently. The Indian government ministers did not know any clue how to react to these acts.
So they first they said that it was sponsored by ISI, which is a Pakistan government agency. They also pointed links of Pakistan army in the execution of this act. But the ministers immediately retracted their statement by saying that ISI and Pak army are not under the control of Pak Government. The ministers also want Pak government to handover the suspected terrorist acting from Pakistan. But Pak is saying even if proved, Pak will not handover the militants. There is also a talk of attacking the hide out of militants in Pakistan which is also suggested by Mr. Obama.
On the other hand the Sri Lankan government is fighting against LTTE. LTTE is linked to Mr. Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination which took place in Tamil nadu. LTTE is also a banned outfit in India. The leader of LTTE Prabhakaran is a person wanted by Indian government. But Sri Lanka could not catch him. But assures that if he is caught they will hand over him to India. But it is possible for India to catch Prabhakaran for which Sri Lanka government would give all support. But India is not taking any step in that direction.
There is a clear contradiction in the actions of Indian politicians in the two issues.
Terrorism By Lashkar e Toiba
Operating from Pakistan
Fights for separate Kashmir
Executed terror actions India
Lashkar e Toiba do not kill fellow militants of various groups fighting for separate Kashmir
Believed to have support of Pak government
Pakistan could lay its hand on these terrorists.
India wants the terrorists to be handed over to India, But Pakistan refuses to do so.
India talks of war or attack in militant hide out in Pakistan But fears escalation of tension between countries.
The Tamil nadu politicians who met Prime minister recently pressurized him to stop war against LTTE.
All politicians support Muslims
Terrorism by LTTE.
Operating from Sri Lanka.
Fights for separate Elam
Executed terror actions in India
LTTE killed all fellow militant groups and also non militants of Tamils.
Sri Lanka government is against LTTE’s terror actions.
Sri Lankan government could not do so.
India wants LTTE leader Prabhakaran to be caught, Sri Lanka assures to hand him over if he is caught.
No such talk, but India can easily catch Prabhakaran and Sri Lanka government is also willing to extend help.
The same parties hold cabinet posts in the present government and want Pak to take actions against militants in Pak.
All politicians support Tamils
But the politicians’ action against Muslim terrorist is different from the Tamil militants. They support muslims but oppose muslim militants. They support Tamils and also support Tamil militants. Probably this could have made Mr. Ponseka to call the Tamil nadu politicians Clowns>
