[INDIAISM]

Dont understand why Pakistani trolls, have to bring India into this thread for.

Simple they won't be able to digest this topic without bringing India in to it......

Pakistan extensively helped Sri Lanka in their time of need by supplying high tech weapons to defeat Tamil Tigers ... and now what we are seeing is a gratitude shown to Pakistani people ...

For a moment I thought the Sri Lankan Government had protested! That would have been a different ball game altogether!

This was just some political party. So it's no big deal. Anyone can protest. Even my cook and dhobi can! So this is headline news? Jeeez!

Sri Lanka protest against NATO air attacks on Pakistan
Posted on Dec 9th, 2011.

Sri Lanka on Friday held a protest condemning last month’s NATO air strike that killed 24 Pakistani troops on the border with Afghanistan.
Organized by one of the allies of ruling government, National Freedom Front and Sri Lanka Pakistan Friendship Association, a spokesman said the protest was to condemn NATO attack and express solidarity with Pakistan.
“The attack is one of the heinous crimes by the NATO forces and as Sri Lankan we strongly condemn it,” Mohamed Muzamil, spokesman for NFF told Xinhua.
A number of politicians mostly from the ruling government together with a large number of supporters of Sri Lanka-Pakistan Friendship Association participated in the protest held in a public square in the heart of capital Colombo.
Sri Lanka has very close diplomatic ties with Pakistan in various fields including trade, education, science and technology, culture, engineering, railways, tourism and defence.
During the ethnic war against Tamil Tiger rebels which ended in May 2009, Pakistan emerged as one of the leading small weapons suppliers to the island nation.
Following the November NATO attack Pakistan has upgraded its air defence system on the Afghan border to make it capable of shooting down aircraft.
Subsequent to attack the U.S. offered its condolences but Pakistan is reportedly set to review all diplomatic, military and intelligence links with the U.S. and NATO following the incident. Immediately after the attack the Pakistani government also blocked the vital supply route for NATO troops fighting in Afghanistan.

Exactly. That too, it looks like the protest was organized mainly with religious affiliations.

Thank you Sri Lanka brother, I admire Muralitharan bowling, this guy need to coach Pakistan spinners. and grant full citizenship of Pakistan, in exchange Wasim Akram to Sri Lanka in gesture friendly.

india's anti Sri Lanka stance has religious roots ... hindu scripture sites the King of Lanka as the one who took away Sita and this forms the base of the animosity that indian hindus show towards Sri Lanka

Indian Hindus celebrate diwali every year so this story of the King of Lanka taking away Sita is played out every year re-enforcing animosity against Sri Lanka through Hindu religious text.
