| Against the backdrop of reports on explosives being sent to Sri Lankan Armed Forces triggering concern among political parties in Tamil Nadu, Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Friday said the central authorities have assured her that no such explosives have been provided to that country which can be used against its civilians. "I have been assured by the central authorities that the policy of Government of India is not to provide the Sri Lankan authorities with any arms or materials that could be used against the civilian population, especially Tamil population", she said in a letter to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, a copy of which was made available to press. |
