Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa writes to PM asking him to keep the National Counter Terrorism Centre in abeyance and convene a separate meeting of CMs on the issue. 

Home Minister P Chidambaram on Saturday indicated that the annual meeting of chief ministers on April 16 may be extended to discuss setting up of a NCTC and welcomed debate on the issue.

"I am glad that there will be a debate and I sincerely hope that it will be a debate based on the Constitution, laws in force and the very healthy convention that has been built over the last 65 years," Chidambaram told reporters after presenting his ministry's monthly report.
