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)

Sri lanka must have second thought in trading with Tamil Nadu including air link.

Hi Asanka, countries have different standards, if the Indians wanted to do it SL style they could have finished it. But they did'nt want civilian casualties. That's the difference between a democratic country respecting human values and you SriLankans.
That is not their weakness or inefficiency. If that were the yard stick, inspite of the killings fields, it took SL a good 30 years to finish the war, that too with all the assistance form these very same Indians

TN state govt. always pressurises Central govt. just to get attention from all around and finally the rest of the Indians get bad name for doing nothing.Sri Lankans are our brothers and we welcome them to our mother land.
And please let us respect every soldier no matter which army he/she belongs.These brave soldiers give away their lives so that people like us can see the sun tomorrow.Let us leave in peace and brotherhood!God Bless All!!

Indians & Tamils are cheap low quality breeds. I wonder we have no other option to send our forces fir training.
Go to TN or any other city they shit on road side. Indian Army fellows are beedi smokers & they never wash their Ass.
Talking big but no propper sanitation to perform the basic needs.We don't need to worry much about Tamil terrorist as they are fully defeated.
Consider collaborating military training with Pakistan & China.
Better than Beedi smoking low quality Indians.

Our real and genuine friends are Pakistan and China. These two nations are Nuclear power nations also. No need to go behind India. Infact, India who spoiled Sri Lanka and they fully supported to LTTE. This is well known secret aldo. After killing of Rajiv Gandhi they realised the mistake. India should think of the one nation (Sri Lanka) not the race (tamils)

No need to worry or scare of India. Two Nuclear Power nations (China and Pakistan) are with Sri Lanka and these two country genuine friend of Sri Lanka also. In 1971 India created Bangladesh , that time Pakistan not a Nuclear Power nation. Each and every Sri Lankan have hidded hate of India. People of Sri Lanka never ever forgotten how India helped to LTTE and India violated Sri Lanka's air space and sea also.

May I add humbly, Sri Lanka is one of the most indeciplined countries in the world. Just take a look at day to day life and you will see it.

Why send our valued youngsters to a filthy, squalid state like TN? Our boys deserve the best in training and India is the last place that would come to anybody's mind. Even Pakistan is superior in this regard, and China is light years ahead of India in military technology. Besides they are friends of Sri Lanka, unlike those back stabbers in Delhi and TN. Bring our Boys Home!!!

In fact the trainer should be capable than the trainee. Can someone on the earth tell me a valid reason as to why we send our servicemen to India, after seeing years-long IPKF 'performances' down in Sri Lanka? Jayalalitha should understand/accept the fact that Sri Lankan military victory was delayed just because of so-called Indian training. Otherwise, even without foreign training we would have won it many years back.

Indian Army proved to be most inefficient armies in the world although they have man power and equipment. Remember when Mumbai attack happened, they waited till ammunition bought by the terrorists ends, instead goes heads on with them. they became laughing stock of the international media personal who covered in that particular situation. we have so many instances to show that they are incapable army

So why are we send our officers there and humiliating ourselves. while we have so many options if we are to send our officers overseas for training. Pakistan, China and Russia has the most advance military training programs in the world and those countries are not our hidden enemy like India.

Mr.Sec. of Def. I am sure it must be cheaper to train personel in India. But, come on,...why do you have to go thgough all this nonsence.....I am sure there are better countries to get the training done, than from India. They must be having the thrird or the fourth biggest army but, they were pinned-down by 10 fellows who were running around in a hotel for 3 days.....

Sri Lankan military men are definitely more experienced in combat than Indians.

We should be training them.
