Sri Lanka former president Mahindra Raja Pakse has been admired by people of his country for making the country free from the clutches of the LTTE. At the same time, many countries in the world, especially the people of Tamilnadu state in India hate him like anything for brutally killing thousands of innocent people including women, children and aged persons during that operation. Several Human Rights Organizations all over the world are also strongly condemning his brutal massacre of the innocent criticizes.

However, he never bothered about their outcry or regrets for his mistake. So, the political parties in the Tamilnadu state and the people were used to make protests whenever he lands in Tirupati. However, they all are quite happy to see him got defeated in the hands of Maitripala Sirisena during the Presidential elections held recently in Sri Lanka.

In fact, they believe that he has punished himself for his brutal mistakes by convening elections two years ahead of his term. Their joy can be seen with some Tamil fishermen sending greetings to the new president Maitripala Sirisena for his election as the President of Sri Lanka.

India is quite disturbed to see Sri Lanka allowing China to dock its two nuclear missile carrying submarines in its port. India has been strongly objecting for it, but the former president Rajapakse simply ignored its objections. So, the change of guard in Sri Lanka is to be seen as a blessing for India as well because now there would be no unrest over continuing relations with Sri Lanka and also the Indian government can try to convince the new president to revoke his government’s decision of docking Chinese submarines.
