Govt. firm on its stand on Sri Lanka

NEW DELHI, JUNE 6. The Centre said today that its position on upholding the territorial integrity of Sri Lanka ``is consistent, well-known and unchanged''.

Sri Lanka had reacted strongly to the DMK chief and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Mr. M. Karunanidhi's remarks warning any division of the island nation would result in ``balkanisation'' of India.

``Any division of Sri Lanka would result in yet another partition of India,'' the Media Minister and Cabinet spokesman, Mr. M. Samaraweera, told foreign correspondents in Colombo.

``The position of the Government of India on the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka is consistent, well-known and unchanged,'' a Foreign Office spokesman said.
