Re: India has rights of an elder brother, says Lanka.
^^ not double standards....
India has refused to sell offensive weaponry to Sri Lanka and then interfered in Sri Lankan's affairs by telling Sri Lanka it can't buy weapons from Pakistan and China.
Does this look like a country who is trying to mediate a dispute.
Musharraf's offer was to mediate between Israel and Palestine just like Norway is trying to do between LTTE and Sri Lanka
Pakistan is not telling Sri Lanka how to dictate its foreign policy.
Offensive weaponary, I dont understand the terminology . Every weapon is offensive in nature. Nobody have weapons just to defend. Leaving aside the terminology, if you are talking about weapons which kill in mass numbers (very distructive) then India has all rights to refuse and also prevent SriLanka from acquiring too. Tamils have a relationship with India and India will not allow given the power it has to arm Srilanka with ur so called offensive equipments. India has a genuine problem with LTTE, but not with tamils in general. Tamils have legitimate right over Srilanka and Sinhalese should learn to co-exist with tamils. Pakistan or China have no business in Srilanka. It is India who is the neighbour and tamil majority is living in India, neither is tamils threatening pakistan or China so that they need to enter into this conflict.
