2ND LEAD (Adds relevant links) அமெரிக்க வியூகத்துள் இந்திய-இலங்கை பாதுகாப்பு உடன்படிக்கை[Sun, 18 May 2025, 01:31 GMT] இந்திய-இலங்கை அரசுகள் 2025 ஏப்ரல் மாதம் தமக்கிடையே செய்துகொண்டுள்ள 'பாதுகாப்பு' புரிந்துணர்வு உடன்படிக்கையின் பிரதி ஆங்கில இணைய ஊடகம் ஒன்றில் சில சிங்களத் தரப்புகளால் அண்மையில் கசியவிடப்பட்டுள்ளது. உடன்படிக்கையின் உள்ளடக்கத்தை அதிகாரபூர்வமாக ஒத்துக்கொள்ளவோ மறுதலிக்கவோ இந்திய இலங்கை அரசுகளின் இரண்டு தரப்புகளும் தவிர்த்துவருகின்றன. இருப்பினும், கசிந்துள்ள பிரதியும் இன்றுவரை கசியவிடாது பேணப்பட்டுவருகின்ற 2017 ஆம் ஆண்டில் மேற்கொள்ளப்பட்ட அமெரிக்க அக்சா ஒப்பந்தமும் ஒட்டுமொத்தமாகத் தமிழர்களுக்குச் சொல்லும் செய்தியின் ஆபத்தின் ஆழம் எத்தகையது, அதன் புவிசார் அரசியற் தார்ப்பரியம் தான் என்ன, அது எவ்வாறு தமிழ்நாட்டிலும் ஆக்கிரமிக்கப்பட்டுள்ள ஈழத்தமிழர் தாயகத்திலும் புலம்பெயர் ஈழத்தமிழர் மத்தியிலும் அடுத்த கட்டச் செயலாற்றல் நோக்கிப் புரிந்துகொள்ளப்படவேண்டும் என்பது முள்ளிவாய்க்கால் இன அழிப்பு நினைவேந்தல் காலத்தில் சிந்தனைக்குரியது.

Ramasamy, told TamilNet on Monday.
