COLOMBO: Sri Lanka=92s ongoing military campaign against the LTTE faces
stronger objections from the European Union (EU), rather than India,
though both are being heavily lobbied by elements sympathetic to the
Tamil Tiger rebels, says a top official in the Sri Lankan foreign
ministry.
=93India is too big a power to yield to pressures from a small terrorist
group, but the European Union is seeing the Tamils as underdogs
persecuted by the Sinhalese majority. There are statements from EU
governments and groups calling for talks and an end to the military
operations,=94 the official told this website=92s newspaper on condition
of anonymity.
=93The EU is overlooking the fact that a majority of the Tamils in the
island (54 percent) are living in south Sri Lanka, in perfect harmony
with the Sinhalese, instead of fleeing to their so-called homeland in
the north and east,=94 he said here on Saturday.
The ranking official revealed that Sri Lanka was having a tough time
persuading the EU to extend the GSP (Generalised System of
Preferences) Plus facility for garments ex****ted from Sri Lanka, a
concession absolutely necessary to keep lakhs of jobs for people on
the island.
The EU stand very substantially owes to the growing power of the
elected representatives of refugee and expatriate Tamils in the
various legislatures and councils in the member countries, the
official said.
=93In a sense, the EU=92s posture is a reflection of a functioning
democracy. But then the EU must realize that by denying the GSP Plus
concession to Sri Lanka, or calling for an end to the military
operations against the Tigers, they would only be giving a 10-year
lease of life to the most dreaded terrorist group in the world,=94 he
said.
The European Union must help a struggling democracy face a challenge
to its very existence and must realise that Sri Lanka is a democracy,
where governments change at regular intervals, he added.
The Sri Lankan official refused to comment on Tamil Nadu Chief
Minister M. Karunanidhi=92s statement that India should bring the Sri
Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam together to
find a solution.
=93We can=92t comment on every event in a vibrant democracy. However,
India is not under pressure from the LTTE by any means, though the
LTTE is desperately trying to get India to put pressure on Sri Lanka
to stop the military operations,=94 the official said. =93The LTTE is
facing mounting pressure on the southern front in Mullaitivu and
Killinochchi,=94 he added.
In an editorial published on Saturday, the leading Sri Lankan Tamil
daily Thi****kural wondered if the Tamils would be =93wise=94 to see a
change in India=92s policy on the ethnic question in Sri Lanka because
of a recent cordial meeting between Sonia Gandhi=92s daughter Priyanka
Vadra, and Nalini Sriharan, who is serving a life sentence for her
role in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
=93We should remember that only two years ago, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister
Karunanidhi had said that India=92s policy on Sri Lanka could be divided
into two distinct phases =96 before and after the assassination of Rajiv
Gandhi,=94 it said the editorial.
It also noted that the Priyanka-Nalini meeting has drawn no comment
from Sonia Gandhi, the widow of Rajiv Gandhi, her Congress Party or
any major political leader in Tamil Nadu. The lack of comment is
interpreted in some Sri Lankan circles as a step towards rapprochement
between India and the LTTE, which is blamed for the killing of Rajiv
Gandhi.
