Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa s demand to scrap training courses for Sri Lankan Air Force personnel is unlikely to find takers in New Delhi because Sri Lanka and India, just last week, have decided to enhance cooperation in security issues.
Asked for a reaction, a senior official said that Sri Lanka could not react to the demands of a Chief Minister of an Indian State. All bilateral issues were discussed and decided by Colombo and New Delhi, and hence, there was no need to respond, the official said.
When there is an outside factor that affects training, as had happened earlier, the defence institutions moved the trainees to another facility in a neutral State.
Despite relations between the two countries not being at its best in recent times following the Indian vote for a resolution against Sri Lanka at the United Nations Human Rights Council in March, defence and security cooperation between the two countries are firmly looking up.
Indian National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon, after a meeting with Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, and Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, among others, told the Indian media stationed in Colombo last Friday, that security related issues were indeed discussed. We also discussed maritime cooperation and other security related issues. It was agreed that we could take this further. Sri Lanka is our close neighbour, with whom we enjoy a multifaceted and dynamic relationship. We look forward to strengthening and further developing this engagement, he said.
After the Defence Secretary-level talks in December 2010, India had made available additional slots in Indian Armed Forces training institutions, apart from agreeing to hold bilateral exercises. The Indo-Sri Lanka Naval exercises were subsequently held off Trincomalee. India is also in the process of building two Off Shore Patrol vessels for Sri Lanka.
India s peacetime defence engagement with Sri Lanka was shaped in a series of talks after the fall of the Tamil Tigers in May 2009. The talks, which began at staff-level in the Army, Navy and Air Force then, has also seen the service Chiefs of all three Indian Armed Forces visit Sri Lanka to firm up this relationship. The Defence Secretary level talks are structured, institutionalised and periodic. It caters to the defence concerns of both countries, apart from taking into consideration the larger question of security issues in the region.

Govt bows to Tamil Nadu politicians, sends back Sri Lankan trainees
Bowing to the pressure of politicians from Tamil Nadu, the defence ministry on Friday decided to send back Sri Lankan air force personnel who were undergoing training at the Tambaram airbase.
'All Sri Lankan trainees are being sent off today from this station as per instruction of the ministry of defence,' a brief defence ministry statement said.
Earlier, Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa's demand for putting an end to Indian Air Force base at Tambaram, Chennai training Sri Lankan air force personnel had triggered political reverberations, with Union shipping minister G K Vasan supporting the AIADMK leader's line.
Vasan said on Friday that the ongoing training of Sri Lankan troops at the Tambaram air base is a matter of concern. 'It is a matter of concern, considering the cruelties faced by Tamils in Lanka,' Vasan said while inaugurating a vessel traffic management system at Chennai port.
He said he strongly disagreed with the decision to train Lankan personnel and that he has taken up the matter with Union ministers concerned. The Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president B S Gnanadesikan will officially convey the state Congress unit's protest against the training, Vasan said.
Earlier, MDMK had expressed its protest against the training being imparted to Sri Lankan personnel.
LOL !
Wake up Brown..!

Rnt these tamils clever when it come to terror and fraud..lol
A leaked UN email suggests that UN money went to LTTE. Last May, Colombo Telegraph exposed how United Nations funds were paid to three Sri Lankan companies which were physically not contactable. US$ 1.57 million ( Approximately RS 167,000,000.00 valuation 2008) was paid to supply companies which the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations could not contact.
Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations secretary general
The FAO in Sri Lanka purchased project deliveries for the Northern and Eastern Provinces of Sri Lanka to a value exceeding US$ 1.5 million from three suppliers, namely, Dev Trades, A. F. Associates and YCO Farm. These suppliers could not be found at their given registered addresses. Two FAO staff members Niranjala Gunaraj, Finance Assistant, and Thevarajah Vaigunthan, National Project Officer, both attached to the FAO Emergency Unit, collected the payments on behalf of these three companies. |

Intoxicated Anuradhapura prison guards and police personnel forced the prisoners to lick the jail superintendent s boots. Even after they fallen in to superintendent feet and licking his boots were beaten up mercilessly.
And after that criminal convicts were brought and asked to spit on the faces of the Tamil inmates and attack them. The inmates were asked to stretch their legs and beaten below their knees causing severe internal injuries. There is a round injury mark on the back of a Tamil inmate which is believed to be caused by Tear Gas bullet wounds. All inmates had breastbones broken and left them with blood soaked cloth for 3 days.
The tortured dead Nimala Rupan s legs were torn and he mourned throughout the night with pain and cried that he was dying. Also a wooden block was placed between his legs and the flesh cutup causing severe damage to his hips.
And another inmate of Anuradhapura prison was beaten on his head sending him to coma. It is believed that he will not live long. Among the four inmates admitted in Ragama hospital one is in coma.
