Is India a friend now?

Last week I heard about a statement given by the JVP which is a part of the coalition government expressing their dissatisfaction of involving Norway for the peace talks. They have said that the Sri Lankan government should get India involved. But isn’t JVP the party that banned Sri Lankans from doing any business with India when they were trying to overthrow the UNP government about 15 years ago? Didn’t they threaten people not even to buy medicine made in India. Didn’t they kill the chairperson (I think) of the State Pharmaceutical Corporation for signing the documents to clear a consignment of children’s drugs from Colombo harbor which had been manufactured in India. At that time the JVP thought that India was so bad that we should sacrifice the lives of our sick children in order to prevent any money from going to India. (Like preventing a drop of water falling into a lake or something.) They thought that the chairperson of SPC was such a traitor for clearing that consignment of children’s drugs (even though children were dying without that medicine) so that she should be shot in the streets of Colombo. But now it seems that India has become a good friend of JVP and Norway is the villain now.
