Humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka










There is a serious humanitarian crisis emerging in Sri Lanka, lives of thousands of civilian tamilians are put at risk in the crossfire between the Army and LTTE thugs. LTTE- a terrorist organization that has caused untold misery- should heed the resolutions of UN to disarm itself and surrender. Prolonging this crisis will only lead to causing further misery to beleaguered tamilians. LTTE should be held responsible for aggravating the situation. This blogger believes that post-LTTE Sri Lankan government would take urgent measures to integrate tamilians into mainstream.

It is a terrible coincidence that elections in India and this crisis are happening at the same time. The reason why politicians in Tamil nadu are taking competitive extreme views so as to be seen as concerned about Tamils in Sri Lanka. This might go out of hand with few self-immolations (quite likely in TN). So whether Prabhakaran is captured or killed there is going to be lots of heat in TN till the election. After the election the scene shifts to Delhi and ensuing struggle to get enough numbers in the parliament…Amen to that.
