The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna says it condemns with utter contempt the agreement by the government to proposals that bring the country ‘under the hegemony of India’. The overall content of the agreement manifests nothing but India’s requirement of manipulating Sri Lanka for its economic, political and security interests, the party said.
The joint statement issued by the foreign ministers of Indian and Sri Lanka, following Minister G.L. Peiris’s India visit, vividly indicates the highly crafty manner India has taken Sri Lanka into its grip and how the shadow of Indian dominance has been spread throughout the island, the JVP stated.
The intention of the visit to India by the Minister of Foreign affairs had been published as an attempt to get Indian support against the report by the UN ‘Panel of Experts’, a statement issued by the party today (21) reads.
“However, not a word regarding this is mentioned in the joint statement. On the other hand, certain proposals found in the report have been proposed back by India which is nothing but a political joke.”
“Also, the overall content of the agreement manifests nothing but India’s requirement of manipulating Sri Lanka for its economic, political and security interests.”
“Through this statement Rajapakse regime has idiotically allowed India to manipulate, without any returns for the country, ports, railways, fishing sectors, the economy of Sri Lanka and power and energy sectors, highly sensitive security centers such as Palaly Air Port and KKS Harbour as well as politics in the country that had been already delivered to India through CIPA agreement and agreements for constitutional and other changes in laws and regulations.”
“The government instead of providing relief to people in the North and the East, in spite of the war had been over for two years, has allowed international pressure to overwhelm them evading its responsibility for the sovereignty of the country and as the JVP, we, condemn, with utter contempt, the agreement by the government to proposals that bring the country under the hegemony of India.”
