"We strongly condemn this (article against Jayalalithaa) and urge the Government to take immediate action on this as this infringes upon the sovereignty of our country," AIADMK member P Venugopal said in the Lok Sabha.
He said that the article written by a private individual was derogatory to the Chief Minister.
"What is worse is that this article has been posted on the official website of Sri Lankan Defence Ministry," he said.
Sri Lankan government has since tendered an "unqualified apology" to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Jayalalithaa for the article.
The controversial article titled 'How meaningful are Jayalalithaa's love letters to Narendra Modi?' was later removed from the website.
