(May 03, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) Janata Party has said that India should not play any direct role in Sri Lankan affairs till the Island Government hand over LTTE leaders wanted in Rajiv Gandhi assassination case to New Delhi.
‘If at all India had to intervene in Sri Lankan affairs, the island government must capture LTTE leader V Prabakaran and its intelligence chief Pottu Amman to face trial in the Rajiv Gandhi Assassination case,’ party president Subramanian Swamy told reporters in Chennai on Friday.
‘Only if these conditions were fulfilled, India should intervene,’ he said reacting to a recent unanimous resolution adopted by Tamilnadu Assembly asking the Centre to ‘come forward to organise meaningful talks to find proper solution’ to end the conflict in Sri Lanka.
The BJP president Rajnath Singh during his recent visit to the state also endorsed the calls for Indian role to work out a negotiated settlement to end the ethnic conflict.
Swamy also said he would implead himself in the petition filed by Nalini Murugan, convicted in the Rajiv Gandhi Assassination case, to oppose her plea seeking premature release.
He said the remission of imprisonment, sought by her, could not be considered at all as she had already been given remission of sentence from capital punishment to life imprisonment.
As per law, prisoners could get only one remission, he said.
He also said Union Shipping Minister T R Baalu should resign from the union cabinet following allegations that he tried to influence the Petroleum Ministry to seek favours for the companies owned by his relatives.
