Sri Lankan PM D M Jayaratne had said in Parliament on Wednesday that LTTE still had training centres in India. "We have seen reports from Sri Lanka referring to the Sri Lankan prime minister's statement in their Parliament alluding to the presence of LTTE training camps in Tamil Nadu. We categorically deny the existence of any such camp," official spokesperson Vishnu Prakash said. He said further the Lankan government had not communicated to India the presence of such camps. "Such a reference is indeed unfortunate and we urge Sri Lanka to desist from reacting to speculative and uncorroborated reports," he added. Jayaratne said a former Lankan rebel named Vinayagam headed the operations in India with the assistance of Nediyavan who is based in Oslo. He added that there was a chance that LTTE cadres trained in India may carry out attacks in Sri Lanka. "We have intelligence reports of three clandestine training centres operated by the LTTE in Tamil Nadu. Their next target is to create small-scale attacks," Jayaratne said, adding that the island nation must be ready to face this threat. In fact, the Sri Lankan Opposition described Jayaratne's charge as a ploy to continue with the emergency law. The government was using the perceived threat from the defeated Tamil Tigers to justify maintaining draconian emergency laws, leader of opposition Ranil Wickremesinghe of UNP party alleged.<a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/India-denies-presence-of-LTTE-centres-in-Tamil-Nadu/articleshow/7676458.cms" target="_blank">http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/India-denies-presence-of-LTTE-centres-in-Tamil-Nadu/articleshow/7676458.cms</a></blockquote>
