Rejoinder to baseless and fabricated news reports about Indian missiles deployment

July 10, 2015

We have seen news reports in some websites and in the print media claiming that Indian missiles were targeted at Sri Lanka's strategic installations. These reports are completely baseless and fabricated.

India has a longstanding indigenous missile development programme. This programme is defensive in nature and is not directed against any country.

Speculation on such sensitive issues in a manner calculated to mislead, is out of tune with the spirit of the friendly and close relations India and Sri Lanka enjoy, including in the fields of defence and security.
