Syed Ata Hasnain | India must act with care amidst Lanka imbroglio

Deccan Chronicle  

Sri Lanka’s slow descent into an abyss is evident from the developments over the past few weeks. Interestingly, the Sri Lankan Army has remained outside the nation’s political crisis except for a brief statement which was more an appeal for peace in the streets. However, it should be remembered that Sri Lankan political leaders get cheers and votes when they are perceived as standing up to India. We must remember Sri Lankan politics has a cascading political effect in southern India, especially when some decisions go against Sri Lankan Tamil interests. India could examine investing in some of the government assets in Sri Lanka like the airlines, ports, airports and even hospitals, to help bring stability in societal functioning as all measures need to be near simultaneous because each depends on the other.
