BJP leader Subramanian Swamy today called for close cooperation between India and Sri Lanka to counter terrorist activities in the Indian sub-continent.
"India must enter into constructive dialogue with Sri Lanka and on counter-terror strategy in the sub-continent particularly in view of the fact that many Pakistani trained Islamic fundamentalists from Sri Lanka are sneaking into India to carry out terrorist attack in Tamil Nadu," he said in a statement.
On the 23rd death anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, who was assassinated by LTTE, Swamy lauded the Sri Lankan government for completely wiping out the militant group from the island nation.
"Today the nation should compliment the Government of Sri Lanka for completely decimating the LTTE and destroying their organisation."
He also pitched for counter-terror strategies in the sub- continent against the backdrop of the recent train blasts in in Chennai Railway Station in which one was killed and over a dozen injured.
