    Page 1 of 11 www.tamilarangam.net Pirapaharan 2, Chapter 7 JR Seeks Arms By: T. Sabaratnam (Volume 2) Indian Factor President Jayewardene realized on Wednesday evening, after answering Indira Gandhi’s telephone call, that the riots had spawned unintended results. Firstly, it had, while weakening the Tamils, also weakened him and the Sinhala people, mainly by damaging their international image. Secondly, the riots had provided India a chance to intervene in Sri Lankan affairs. Indira Gandhi’s telephone call and Narasimha Rao’s visit restricted Jayewardene’s freedom and power and placed him on the defensive. Both told him effectively that his freedom of action would be subjected to India’s national interest in the future. The international reaction to the riots placed him under global watch. On his return from Kandy in the afternoon (Friday), Rao held a round of talks with Hameed. He told Hameed about the horrifying sights he had seen in the morning, the sight of Sinhala mobs killing Tamils and burning them on the roads. He also told Hameed about the information he had gathered while in Kandy about the spread of anti-Tamil attacks in the plantation areas. "I was told that government instigators are taking the disturbances from city to city," he told Hameed and added that the Indian Deputy High Commissioner received frantic calls from Nuwara Eliya while he was with him informing him about the spread of disturbances to that city. Disturbances spread to Nuwara Eliya around noon on Friday. Till then, the city was well guarded by the police and the army.
