India should not unilaterally and directly deal with the Sri Lankan Tamil population, Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and economist, Dr. Subramanian Swamy, told Ceylon Today. Dr. Swamy, who has always been a diehard fan of President Mahinda Rajapaksa and admires him for not wavering or wobbling in the face of international pressure, said: “Without the willing support of Sri Lanka, India cannot solve any Tamil problem.”<\/p>\n

Asked why the Tamil issue wasn’t a national issue and could talking only with the government bring a long-term solution, Dr. Swamy said, “Certainly we must talk to the Sri Lankan Tamils but talking to them without the concurrence of the SL Government is breach of sovereignty. Does India have a right to directly talk to Hindus of Bangladesh, just because we helped create that country? Or Pakistan talk to Muslims in India,” he queried.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the Northern Province Chief Minister’s ‘non-participation’ at the Modi’s swearing-in ceremony, Dr. Swamy said, India did not directly invite the CM but the CM was short-sighted in mixing political differences with the President with a ceremonial occasion.<\/p>\n

When asked if Sri Lanka’s dealings with China irked India, Dr. Swamy blamed the Congress Party for succumbing to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam’s blackmail tactics.<\/p>\n

Dr. Swamy also said that he agrees to an early implementation of the 13th Amendment as urged by Modi, subject to amendments that build confidence.<\/p>\n

“We can only urge as friends and cultural siblings that Sri Lanka do it as early as possible so that 1983-2009 memories become a distant nightmare and the chapter is closed.”<\/p>\n

On agreeing upon for the 13 A, he said the land and police power can be given at a later stage after ensuring it does not promote religious strife.<\/p>\n

He added: “We, if you want, can help and facilitate the amity and thus help you argue the issues to resolution.”<\/p>\n

He also stressed that the 13A implementation process should be dine bit by bit, rather than striving for a package in one blow. “By holding the Provincial elections you have already done a lot,” he said.<\/p>\n
