New Delhi, December 04: Expressing anguish over the plight of displaced Sri Lankan Tamilians, the opposition today accused India of helping in the “genocide” there.
The BJP, CPI and AIADMK criticised India’s response to the Sri Lankan forces’ handling of the conflict leading to over 3 lakh people landing in the camps.
Responding to a government statement on the recent developments in northern Sri Lanka in the Rajya Sabha, BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu said, “We are thoroughly disappointed with the government response to the plight of Tamils.”
Naidu said his party was committed to the sovereignty of the neighbouring country and had no sympathy for LTTE.
“If anybody thinks that the LTTE is gone and the problem is solved they are sadly mistaken… One can win a war but lose peace,” he said, at the same warning that the issue may revive unless a political solution is found.
