R.N. Ravi in a social media post said, "In my visit to Rameswaram today, I met our distressed brothers and sisters from the fishing community. I deeply sympathise with them. They are victims of an iniquitous agreement of 1974 which was extremely insensitive to the livelihood concerns of our poor fishermen." He further said, "The then governments in Delhi and Chennai committed a grave sin by depriving our fishermen of their traditional fishing rights in the sea around Katchatheevu island. Since then, our fishing community have been suffering enduring hardship."
