The thoughtless acts and utterances of the Opposition’s Federal Party have caused immense damage to the friendship and goodwill of India, Secretary-General of the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF), V. Anandasangaree says.
He stated this in a letter written to the leader of the Opposition, R. Sampanthan, where he requested Sampanthan to keep the Federal Party members under his strict control.
Anandasangaree added that whenever the country was in distress it was India that always rushed in first with medical teams and food, as proved after the last Tsunami and the civil war.
Furthermore, he stated that the Indian government had made an effort to solve our ethnic problem during the last 30 years, and that their involvement cost their country the lives of a Prime Minister - Madam Indira Gandhi and a prospective Prime Minister - Hon. Rajiv Gandhi. Consequently, he added that the visits of the Opposition to South Africa to solicit its support to solve the ethnic problem had caused a lot of misunderstanding among the Indians.
Anandasangaree also condemned Sampanthan’s recent visit to China, stating that there was a time and a place to do everything.
