அட்றா சக்கை: `New Delhi won't listen to political jokers in Tamil Nadu'
`New Delhi won't listen to political jokers in Tamil Nadu'
Asia, Sun, 07 Dec 2008 IANS
Colombo, Dec 7 (IANS) The Sri Lankan Army chief has said that the Congress-led Indian government would not listen to 'the political jokers' in Tamil Nadu and insist that Colombo go for a ceasefire with the Tamil Tiger rebels.
Army Chief Lt.Gen. Sarath Fonseka, in an interview with the state-run Sunday Observer, expressed confidence that the Indian government 'is not interested in a ceasefire in Sri Lanka' as it has listed the LTTE as a terrorist organization and handed the rebel chief a death sentence for his links with the assassination of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
'The Indian government has already expressed its view on the Sri Lankan issue and Prime Minister Singh has enough problems after the Mumbai terrorist attack. They are against the LTTE and nothing in favour of the LTTE would happen,' the Sunday Observer has quoted the army chief as saying.
General Fonseka, whose term of office has been extended by one more year, has said that India 'cannot just look the other side when it comes to Tamil sentiments' and was keen to ensure that innocent civilians were not harmed during military operation.
