Re: India has rights of an elder brother, says Lanka.
Sri Lanka is an independant country, and who it deals with is its own bussines. If Sri Lanka values its independance, it should resist any sort of interferance in its internal affairs.
is there any such thing as a truly independent country? sri lanka depends on indian govt to prohibit LTTE operating out of india (which india has done a great job in the past decade and a half), and given how big the LTTE menace currently is to sri lanka, it has good reason to listen to india's opinions.
