‘the Indian Army began to inflict a punishment on Jaffna which the island had never experienced before’ (page 271).
‘the IPKF began committing excesses which had earlier been the prerogative of the Sri Lankan forces’ (page 271).
‘Jaffnaites even now recall the October offensive with plain horror on their faces. The IPKF had clamped a crippling curfew which provided a virtual license to kill. Tamil sources assert that more than half the victims of the IPKF offensive were civilians, including women and children’ (page 274).
‘The LTTE firing had died down by then. But the Indian troops opened fire indiscriminately, mowing down at least 21 doctors and staff. Most of them were killed inside a room where they were covering or on a cemented path leading to the medical superintendent’s office. The wounded lay unattended until the next morning, bleeding and crying in pain’ (page 275).
‘The next morning, a senior consultant pediatrician arrived at the hospital in white robes accompanied by two uniformed nurses. When he saw an Indian soldier he said aloud in English: I am a doctor, I am a doctor, and started climbing the stairs. But the soldier calmly picked up a rifle and shot him dead’ (page 276).
‘Yes, the soldiers killed them, admitted Brigadier Ravi Inder Singh Kahlon. Kahlon said the hospital massacare was due to the heat of the moment and the extreme provocation to the soldiers who had witnessed the death of scores of their colleagues.’ (page 276).
