No LTTE camps in India, Home Minister Chidambaram

New Delhi, Apr 3 (PTI) The Indian government today termed as "completely baseless" a Sri Lankan newspaper report about existence of LTTE camps in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, saying there was no such facility anywhere in the country. "It is completely baseless. There is no LTTE camp anywhere in India, including Tamil Nadu," Home Minister P Chidambaram told a press conference here. He was responding to a question on a Sri Lankan media report that three LTTE camps exist in Tamil Nadu which reportedly trained 150 cadres of the banned outfit. The Tamil Nadu State Government had yesterday refuted the media report. On the issue of Indian fishermen being allegedly attacked off Sri Lankan waters, the Home Minister said talks were on in this regard at two levels -- between the Governments of India and Sri Lanka and between fishermen of both countries. He said the Tamil Nadu Government is being kept in the loop on the talks between the two countries. PTI
