The High Commission of India has denied a news report which appeared in the press (not ANCL newspapers) that the new Indian government had made a request to Sri Lanka to hand over LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran and Pottu Amman.

According to Indian High Commission sources, the Indian government has clearly stated its position on the extradition of Prabhakaran and Pottu Amman in connection with the killing of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

India's External Affairs Ministry in its recent statement, said the question of extradition was not the priority of New Delhi as it did not want to upset the peace process.

It also states that an independent Tamil Eelam was totally unacceptable to India, that the ethnic crisis should be solved through negotiations and that the solution must be acceptable to all. Political observers are of the view that such insidious news reports have ulterior motives that could jeopardise the peace initiatives of the Government.
