Colonel Soosai, head of the LTTE`s navy ' the Sea Tigers ' has criticised the joint India-Sri Lanka `naval` exercise, which concluded in Colombo on Friday, though the three-day event did not involve the Indian Navy, and the exercises related only to peace time problems such as sea pollution, piracy and search and rescue operations at sea.
`Unable to face the Sea Tigers, the Sri Lankan Navy is doing joint training with the Indian Navy,` Col Soosai said at a meeting to condole the death of one his close colleagues, Lt Col Maravan, in Kilinochchi on Friday.
Tamil newspapers like Virakesari and Thinakkural went a step further and criticised the organisers for excluding the Tamil media from the press corps, which was allowed to cover the event at sea on Thursday.

What business of his that this so called Col. Soosai of the alleged sea Tigers have to criticise an exercise conducted by Institutions of two Soverign Countries ?
Has he a short memory to forget that he is a citizen of Sri Lanka & has recently used a chopper & an airline belonging to a soverign government to visit Singapore.
Gain your seperate state Soosai & then crticise. Otherwise, just put up.
