Colombo: Sri Lankan Government on Thursday for the first time admitted that the LTTE was training the Maoist cadre in India from the past two years. Lanka’s Central Intelligence agency had earlier submitted the report to government.
“We will provide details to the Indian Government to expose the nexus” Sri Lankan government reportedly said on Thursday.
Sri Lanka’s affirmation clearly indicates that Maoists are getting logistic support and training from LTTE. According to sources, Sri Lanka’s top intelligence wing has acquired some key information about the dangerous alliance between the Maoists and the Tamil Tigers.
The SL government has also given a high alert to the Indian government for some more major LTTE intrusions in India.
This disclosure by the Sri Lanksn government has come after a few day of the Indian Home Minister P Chidambaram’s assertion that Naxalites are acquiring arms from abroad is only the tip of the iceberg, as central intelligence agencies have found fresh evidence of joint training camps and meetings conducted by the Red guerrillas with Tamil Tigers in the forests of south and central India.
Indian government is still waiting for the detailed information about the LTTE- Maoist nexus with which Indian government will be able to take action to deal with the Naxal problems in India.
