In the wake of the visit of India Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee [Images], to Colombo for talks with the Sri Lankan President, Mahinda Rajapaksa, Tamilnet, the English language web site associated with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, has disseminated on January 30, 2009, an article attributed to "a political analyst in Vanni," which has accused "the present Indian establishment run by Congress of waging its own proxy war in the island of Sri Lanka [Images], concurrent to Colombo's war against Tamil nationalism."

The article which represents the views of the LTTE [Images] leadership, warns the Indian establishment, "In its frustration arising from its incapability of achieving anything positive, India is not only heading for maintaining perpetual trouble in Sri Lanka, but also is inviting turmoil to a part of its own country." It also says "The net result of the Indian game, without enjoying any popular support from any quarter concerned, can only be autocratic and will prove to be devastating to the entire island. Repercussions arising from resentment, coupled with re-emergence of a dormant LTTE, will only see a raging political inferno and bloodbath. This time the war is not going to be confined to the island of Sri Lanka, but will be fought involving Tamil Nadu too."

It further says " The Indian Establishment also doesn't want to see Tamil nationalism or an independent Tamil nation state in the island, but it is accountable to the people of Tamil Nadu. Public opinion is important to continue the 'dynasty' enthroned in Delhi [Images]. Above all it has to maintain 'checks and balances' with Colombo. What it is desperately attempting now is a re-organization of its own quislings among Eelam Tamils with promises of arranging a political solution, aiming to replace the LTTE leadership. But the important qualification to become a quisling, as specified by the Indian recruiting agents, is to drop the Tamil national aspiration. Soon one may find a set of propped up leaders, camouflaged initiatives in the diaspora and international conferences in New Delhi. But, for everything, the war has to be over soon at least with the semblance of conclusiveness. If it doesn't end soon, indications are there that the Indian establishment may even physically try a hand at it, as time is running out for it with elections around the corner in April. Already there are reports of the physical presence of Indian soldiers in the war front and recent Indian supplies of tanks and aircraft to Colombo's arsenal. Whatever India may do to Sri Lanka to win the war against Tamils, it is never going to get the reward of popular support to any of its aims from the Sinhala masses. The popularity of the ruling Indian establishment is at its lowest ebb in Tamil Nadu. Its name has become repulsive to Eelam Tamils. Having all these discredits on its side, what India can achieve in bringing out an acceptable political solution is anybody's guess. The present Indian establishment is simply incapable of doing anything constructively new, other than destroying Tamil safeguards."
