New Delhi, Mar 12 : The Italian Ambassador was today summoned by External Affairs Ministry in connection with marines case.
India has demanded the return of the two Italian marines while rejecting the position of Italian Government.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said the issue will be taken up with that country so that the accused soldiers could be brought back to face trial for alleged murder of two Indian fishermen here.
Left MPs, who met the Prime Minister, said Singh told them that Italy's decision was “unacceptable”.
However, PMO sources said Singh only told the delegations that the matter would be looked into and he will ask External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid to take up the issue with Italy.
Khurshid, meanwhile, said the government is studying Italy's decision, its reasons as also implications.
“We will study and take a rightful position... We will take informed position,” he told reporters on the issue which has sparked an outrage in Kerala.
