Ironically enough, the leader of the radicals in a Sri Lankan party which espouses the cause of the island’s Sinhalese community is a Tamil. According to the Daily Mirror, the recent attacks on the moderates in the Sinhalese-Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) were inspired by a senior Tamil leader of the party who had just arrived from Australia after a long exile.The paper did not name the leader, but quoted a dissident MP to say that it was this person who had swung the JVP’s alliance with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 1988, when both the JVP and the LTTE were fighting Indian intervention in the island’s ethnic conflict through the controversial India-Sri Lanka Accord of July 1987. |
