At UN, Pakistan exposes India's involvement in terrorism

By: Special Correspondent | Submitted 11 mins ago


UNITED NATIONS - India supports terrorist elements in neighbouring countries creating problems and even helped set up the "most lethal terrorist organization" -- Tamil Tigers -- which introduced suicide bombings in South Asian region, Pakistan told the UN General Assembly Wednesday.
In a forceful rebuttal of Indian External affairs Minister S.M. Krishna's accusation that Pakistan was linked to terrorism, Pakistani delegate Amjad Hussain Sial also told the 192-member that India conducts state terrorism in Kashmir where people have risen in revolt against New Deli's rule marked by repression.
The tough Pakistani response led to a verbal clash between delegates of India and Pakistan towards the end of the assembly's high-level debate.
Analysts noted that Pakistan's references on Kashmir are pointed, tough and more detailed than in the past ten years. Indeed, they said Pakistan has gone to its traditional stand on the question.
"India ... conceived, created and nurtured the most lethal terrorist organization, which introduced suicide bombings in our region," he said, in an obvious reference to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
"Still India has the nerve to give lectures on morality to others," Sial said in a sharp rejoinder to Krishna's claim that Kashmir is the target of "Pakistan-sponsored militancy and terrorism."
Indian delegate Manish Gupta did speak in right of reply, but did not specifically address Pakistan's statement about India's role in creating the terrorist outfit.
Referring to Krishna's “self-serving claim” that Jammu and Kashmir was part of India, the Pakistan delegate said nothing was farther from the truth. The disputed territory was on the agenda of the United Nations, which had passed resolutions to that effect. The first Prime Minster of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, had also made commitments — reaffirmation of which Pakistan welcomed — noting that Kashmir was not the property of either India or Pakistan, but belonged to the Kashmiri people.

And it was the same India which helped SL top defeat the LTTE....Maybe Qureshi did not know that..but what better can be expected from him

The tacit support of India is an important necessity for any separatist war against the security forces in Sri Lanka to succeed. This the LTTE had during the initial stages of their campaign, when LTTE training camps were located in India. However with the implementation of the Indo Lanka Accord and the subsequent refusal by the LTTE to honour this accord, hostilities broke out between the LTTE and the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF). Many LTTE carders were killed by the IPKF. Perhaps one of the biggest mistakes made by Prabhakaran was his decision to assassinate the former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in revenge. After the assassination of Mr. Rajiv Gandhi whatever sympathy the central government of India had for the LTTE evaporated and it began to cooperate with Sri Lanka in her efforts to eradicate the LTTE threat. This then could be considered as yet another reason for the defeat of the LTTE.

Had that been the case, Sri Lanka would not have then gone to Pakistan and China for weapons, nor would have PAF helped SAF in training for precision guided attacks.

And also do read the initial part about the role played by India in helping the LTTE.

So don't teach Qureshi, teach your own knowledge.

India may have helped to some extent later, but it was the main reason which boosted the LTTE in the first place and made the war such terrible and costly, had India not done so, things would have been different.
