‘It is high time that Sri Lanka understood that India is the big power in the region and ought to refrain from going to Pakistan or China for weapons, as we are prepared to accommodate them within the framework of our foreign policy,’ Narayanan told reporters after a 45-minute meeting with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi here.

It was actually your National Security Advisor M.K. Narayanan…
Jist is that India doesnt appreciate Sri Lanka buying military equipment from Pakistan or China, because India is a local super power and thus all such needs should be met throught India… :rolleyes:
No one agrees with the Sri Lankan govt… But India needs to stop playing big brother… No one in the region will appreciate your meddling no mater what moral high ground you try to occupy.

India is a power in the region. Nobody will deny it. May be Pakistan but they are always in denial. I dont think narayanan said something that is not true. The jist is that India doesn’t want to have its adversaries opening shops in the south as well. India is already in it. Thousands of people from Sri lanka are in refuge camps all through out the south of Tamil nadu. Like it or not as long as tamils are there with Indian union, Indian govt cannot be kept out of it.
Sri lanka knows very well that LTTE with Indian support would take out the whole of the north of Srilanka out of the Island.
