"The biggest international misadventure in Asia since the end of the
war the IPKF military putsch into Sri Lanka. Diametrically opposed to every
tenet of Indian foreign policy till then, this move by Rajiv Gandhi was not
merely a blunder; it was a sin because the Prime Minister chose to be double-faced
about it."Manmohan Singh
Facts since revealed, in particular by the Jain Commission's halfway-house report,
have shown that the same Prime Minister who despatched India's brave soldiers
to fight in the jungles of Jaffna was simultaneously maintaining intelligence-level
contacts with the LTTE. This led to giving an advantage to the LTTE while keeping
our own soldiers on a tight leash an extraordinarily treacherous line for a
country's prime minister to adopt against his own military men.(The
Indian Express-21/01/98)
