Sri Lanka's former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe speaking exclusively to 'Times Now' said that India has actively helped the Sri Lankan army in its fight against the LTTE. In the interview Wickremesinghe admits India has played a key role in decimating the LTTE from its strongholds.
Wickremesinghe commenting on the role of India and western countries in the fight against the LTTE said: In the security sphere India and the developed countries gave us assistance from the time I was Prime Minister. Earlier there were embargoes, but with the peace process they agreed to come in with security co-operation. For instance, the interdiction of LTTE ships on the sea would not have been possible without the help of India, US and some other countries. The LTTE network abroad was also broken up. Speaking on other countries helping in trading, intelligence co-operation with the Sri Lankan armed forces, he said, That is also on. We arranged it and also got it expanded. There has been training. There has been intelligence co-operation, exchange of views and India also provided a raid of our defence in Sri Lanka. This revelation by Wickremesinghe is bound to embarrass the UPA government and its ally DMK Karunanidhi who are battling hard against the state wide protest on UPA government for supporting the war on Tamils. Many pro Eelam Tamil groups and film personalities have vowed to root congress from Tamil Nadu with this election.
