Extract from Briefing by Official Spokesperson
March 10, 2011

Official Spokesperson (Shri Vishnu Prakash): A very good evening to all of you….....

Question: Sri Lankan Prime Minister has said that LTTE is trying to revive its secret camps in Tamil Nadu. Any comment? 
Official Spokesperson: We have seen reports from Sri Lanka referring to the Sri Lankan Prime Minister’s statement in their Parliament alluding to the presence of LTTE training camps in Tamil Nadu. We categorically deny the existence of any such camps. The Government of Sri Lanka have also not taken up this issue with us. Such a reference is indeed unfortunate and we urge the Government of Sri Lanka to desist from reacting to speculative and uncorroborated reports. 
Thank you.
