No formal request from LTTE: Govt.

NEW DELHI, JAN. 15. The Union Government today denied reports about the LTTE making a formal request to allow it to hold talks with the Sri Lankan Government in a south Indian city. ``It is not correct,'' an External Affairs Ministry spokesperson told reporters when asked whether such a request had been made and if so India's response to it.

``A letter has been sent to the Government of India seeking permission to have the talks in any south Indian city. It has been sent through the Norwegian peace facilitation team both from Oslo and Colombo,'' Mr. Balasingham had said yesterday.
