Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has again rejected All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazagham chief J Jayalalitha's demand that Defence Minister George Fernandes be shifted to a 'less sensitive' portfolio.

The decision was taken at an emergency meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led coalition partners. The AIADMK did not attend the meeting.

The prime minister also refused to accept Jayalalitha's demand that Admiral Vishnu Bhagwat be reinstated as the chief of naval staff.
