The World - News from Aug. 25, 1985

India deported two Sri Lankan guerrilla leaders, sparking protests from their Tamil supporters in the south Indian city of Madras, where they had offices. Indian news reports and Madras sources said Anton Balasingham was put on a flight to Britain, and Chandrahasan Chelvanayagam to New York. The expulsions came amid efforts by Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi to revive peace talks between Sri Lanka’s government and Tamil separatists. Reports differed on why they were expelled. Some said they declined to cooperate in the peace talks, others said they violated immigration laws.
