The Indian Defence Ministry is considering the demand made by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha to send back two Sri Lankan officers training in the Defence Services Staff College in Wellington in the state.

Accusing the Centre of showing "excessive enthusiasm" in training Sri Lankan defence personnel, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister has written a letter to the Prime Minister putting forth her demand in this regard.

"As far as we are concerned, this is a Defence Ministry matter and we are in touch with them," Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai told reporters here when asked about the issue.(PTI)
