The Centre is “careful” about the movements of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam not only in Tamil Nadu but also elsewhere in the country, said National Security Advisor M.K. Narayanan here on Monday.
Addressing mediapersons after meeting Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi at his Gopalapuram residence, Mr. Narayanan ruled out joint patrolling with the Sri Lankan Navy in the Indian Ocean. There was only coordinated patrolling, with India and Sri Lanka doing patrolling in their respective areas.
Complimenting the State government for effectively tackling the naxalite problem, Mr. Narayanan said Tamil Nadu had dealt with the issue much better than other States. Describing his meeting with the Chief Minister as a courtesy call, Mr. Narayanan said he had discussions about the National Development Council (NDC) meeting convened by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on December 19 and a conference of Chief Ministers on internal security on December 20.
He had extended an invitation to the Chief Minister on behalf of the Prime Minister and he had agreed to attend the meeting, he said.
Chief Secretary L.K. Tripathy and Home Secretary S. Malathi were present.
