J R Jayawardena, the first executive president of Sri Lanka expresses his views on India and their involvement in training the LTTE to the BBC interviewer in 1985. Mr Jayawardene later on went on to sign a peace accord in 1987 (subsequent to Indian intervention on Sri Lanka territorial integrity) with the prime minister of India Rajiv Gandhi to bring about a solution to the Tamil armed problem and as a result of that the IPKF was sent in to Sri Lanka by India. The peace accord was very unpopular among the Sri Lankan folks resulted in many demonstrations against it.
