Lanka not worried over fate of Gujral Govt

By Sugeeswara Senadhira
Colombo. Nov 19: Sri Lanka's India watchers say any Ballheal uncertainty caused in ew Delhi by the publication of the Jain Commission's findings on the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case would not be in the interest of the island nation.
"If the United Front government falls, there could be a period of uncertainty in India, which may not be to Sri Lanka's interest." a senior official said.
He expressed the hope that the Congress party would not withdraw support to the Gujral government over the Jain Commission revelations.
The official told India Abroad News Service: "The government, especially Gujral. is well acquainted with the Sri Lankan situation and supports the proposed devolution package. If there is an uncertainty in India, the LTTE may try to make use of the situation to get re-established in Tamil Nadu."
He added that even Tamil Nadu's Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government would not go all out to welcome Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka as it is well aware that a refugee exodus from this country could be a problem for Tamil Nadu. They are also aware that if they encourage the LTTE, it would help Tamil secessionist movements like Tamil Retrieval Force (TRF)." he added.
Gamini Jayasuriya, former Cabinet minister who resigned in protest against the Indo-Sri Lankan Agreement In 1987, also said that the reported Jain Commission indictments would not help Sri Lanka or Indo-Sri Lankan amity at this stage.
"We knew all along the DMK's close links with the LTTE and brought it to the notice of the Indian government," he said. "We have always maintained that it was essential to stop the LTTE finding material support from Tamil Nadu, to solve the problem of terrorism
in Sri Lanka. But New Delhi did not want to take any action."
It was a pity that Ra|lv Gandhi, who changed the Indian policy towards Srl Lanka and stopped all assistance to the Tamil rebels, had to pay with his life, said Jayasuriya, who was also president of Indo-Sri Lanka Association and patron of the Mahabodhi Society.
Dr. Keteesh Loganathan, a political analyst, said the DMK supported the Sri Lankan Tamil group Tamil Eelam Liberation Organisation (TELO), which was opposed to the LTTE when the DMK's arch rival All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (A1ADMK), then headed by M.G.
Ramachandran, extended support to the LTTE. "But after MGR’s death, the LTTE approached the DMK, through its friend V. Gopalasamy and obtained its support. And that support continued even after Gopalasamy left DMK to form the MDMK."
He pointed out that when Eelam People's Revolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF) leader Kandiah Padmanabha was killed in Madras in 1990. Jayaseelan. a former DMK minister, and Gopalasamy's brother Ravi had reportedly helped the alleged LTTE assassins to escape.
