Cancel visas of LTTE propagandists - Janata Party President 

 

The Union government should cancel the visas of Sri Lankan citizens who are campaigning against their government on Indian territory, said Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy.

"Most of them are pro-LTTE propagandists," Sri Lankan citizens had no right to campaign against that country using Indian territory, reported The Hindu quoting Subramanian Swamy.

“If Indians campaign against the Indian government among foreigners abroad, we Indians will not tolerate it and, in fact, suspect foreign governments of planning to destabilize our country. Hence we cannot practice double standards in such delicate matters,” he said.

Sri Lanka was a democracy and a member of SAARC, and Sri Lankan citizens could speak out in Sri Lanka itself, he added.
