As India rebuffs it, Lanka turns to Pak to train its army officers

July 08, 2013 17:46

'Pakistan could well become the training ground for more and more Sri Lankan military personnel as they are finding it increasingly difficult to undergo training in India, thanks to factional politics of Tamil Nadu,' reports Ashok Tuteja in the Tribune newspaper.

Tuteja writes that 'the request was made days after two Lankan military officers were forced to abandon their training at the Defence Service Staff College in Wellington in Tamil Nadu because of the anti-Lanka sentiments in the state, fuelled by both the ruling AIADMK and Opposition parties'.
