You need to stop seeting Pakistanis everywhere and behind every bush. It's weird how Pakistan has so much of a fixation on several individuals. Sri Lanka is not Pakistan and Pakistan is not Sri Lanka. You are the one who claims that SL is not going to be another Pakistan. Yet, each of your statemen...

Re: Sri Lanka - News and Discussion
Exactly, thats what I mean by typical Paki traits that KashyaP is exhibiting. Pakis are used condoms for the US and China, KashyaP wants SL to be a used condom for China and Pak. Thankfully, he is not deciding SL policy.. And you think being a "used condom" for India is better? :oops: :D

Indian sympathy and moral support for the Tamil-Eelam self-determination subsided, after the IPKF fiasco and RG's murder.

I have a different opinion. I think it helped Sri Lanka enormously. Especially as India was not prepared to sell offensive weapons to Sri Lanka. Pakistani arms and ammunition played a key role in the war.Rahul M wrote: they did play the pakistan card in the past, it didn't serve them well at all.
