Pakistan has been the most selfless nation, unfortunately too selfless.

Same countries we helped are quiet today.

LTTE used suicide bombings much before any TTP existed. They were the deadliest and the most dangerous terrorists and Sri Lankan govt seemed totally helpless and clueless as how to fight with the terrorists who had support from India.. a country much larger and powerful than Sri Lanka. While Bhindus were playing their usual game of deception and lying with Sri Lankans that they stand with Sri Lanka but at the same time covertly supporting LTTE.

Norway played its role to broker a peace deal between the govt and LTTE but it never lasted more than a few months or even less and never solved the issue.

Then Sri Lankan govt seek help from Pakistan which was provided unconditionally on humanitarian grounds. There were no religious or cultural similarities between the two countries and no much of trade interests and Sri Lanka back then was economically very poor as well so selfless help from Pakistan give a new lease of life to the Sri Lankan state. Soon Sri Lankan govt started to regain the control of its the lost territory from the strong hold of the terrorists who had killed even its presidents and prime ministers.

Later Sri Lanka asked for the air support and that's where PAF shone and a few strikes with Pakistan's indigenously produced ammo break the backbone of the terrorists who could not benefit from the deep forest cover when PAF dropped the bombs. That was the end and Sri Lanka became terrorist free

The sad part is Indians use muslim or perceived muslims against us. The mastermind who planned and attacked srilankan team was a PAK army deserter. As we all know the terrorists escaped and his next attack was on GHQ. He was caught when all his accomplices were killed or killed themselves.He too tried to detonate his jacket but failed. He was then taken alive tried interrogated and hanged.

Agree on every thing you posed about the role of Pakistani support to defeat the Indian sponsored LTTE except this part

Sri Lanka back then was economically very poor as well

If you go through economic stats even during the LTTE conflict period from 79' to 2009 Sri Lanka was still ahead of all countries in the region both economically and with regards to living standards, Except Maldives.. It's GDP per Capita and HDI were far ahead of it's neighbors even with a debilitating civil war


For your reference

Also, Most have forgotten one of the main reasons (Other being the new UNP govt was pro US) Indians under Indira Gandhi created and supported Tamil terrorists to wreck havoc in the island was it's own unconditional support to the Pakistani forces in the 71' war in East Pakistan.. Sri Lanka opened it's air space and logistics to the Pakistani airforce and navy without conditions, Because it viewed the conflict as an internal matter of Pakistan, Despite objections and threats from India.. This is the grudge that IG took out on the country by creating Tamil Tigers

So it's a two way street
