''காதல்ன்றது அம்மா கை சமையல்; காமம்ன்றது, நடமாடும் கையேந்தி பவன்ல நூடுல்ஸ் சாப்பிடுற மாதிரி. பிளாடோனிக் நட்புன்றது, ஆஞ்சநேயர் கோவில்ல கிடைக்கிற பிரசாதம் மாதிரி.

மனிதர்கள் ஏன் இப்படி இருக்கின்றனர்? காற்றைப் போல, ஒளியைப் போல இயல்பாக இல்லாமல், ஏன் இப்படி நயவஞ்சகமும், பொல்லாத்தனமுமாக அலைகின்றனர்? நம்பி வந்த மனிதனை ஏமாற்றுவது என்பது, தூங்குபவனைக் கொல்வதற்கு சமம் இல்லையா?

We cannot interfere, says Anand Sharma

HYDERABAD: “We cannot be interventionist, we can only speak,” Union Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma said regarding the ongoing crisis in Sri Lanka.

‘Only counsel’

Responding to queries at a press conference here on Saturday, he said though the country had no direct involvement in the “immediate neighbour’s affairs,” it was firm that the rights of the Tamils in Sri Lanka should be protected. The violent reaction in Tamil Nadu to the ongoing crisis was unfortunate, but “we can only counsel and not interfere. It is another country.”

The government had been consistent and clear that a negotiated settlement should be evolved for which devolution of powers to Tamils was needed. At the same time, the country was firm that the LTTE was a terrorist organisation and it did not represent the Tamils of Sri Lanka.

On Pakistan, he said the UPA government kept channels of diplomacy as well as people’s interaction open with Pakistan.

However, when there was continuity or sudden aggression in the form of terror, there was no channel that would work.

“We cannot say ‘back to business as normal’ in such event,” he said.

There was need for the basic element, trust, to be restored by Pakistan and it should take “effective action” like dismantling of terror infrastructure and bringing the perpetrator to justice.

These forces irrespective of their name tag form part of the same syndicate and they need to be neutralised.

“It is a huge mistake to make any distinction between such forces. There cannot be a brutal Taliban and a benign one,” he said.
