It is very much present in our mind," he said, a day after Ministry of External Affairs summoned him to convey India's position on this matter in the "strongest of terms".Angered by a sudden u-turn by the Italian government which refused the return of two marines, charged with killing of two Indian fishermen last year, India yesterday demanded that they be sent back to face trial for homicide in the country.The marines --Massimiliano Lattore and Salvatore Girone- charged with homicide for killing two fishermen off the Kerala coast in February last year in an anti-piracy operation, were permitted by the apex court on 22nd of last month to go to Italy for four weeks for voting.PTI
