|April 08, 2025
Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin on Monday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of ignoring Tamil Nadu's demand for resolving the fishermen issue and claimed that he did not seem to have taken up Katchatheevu islet retrieval with Sri Lanka during his recent visit there.
CHENNAI:
Modi has also not initiated measures to have the Tamil Nadu fishermen and their fishing boats released, Stalin said in the Assembly.
Stalin said, "This only shows that Tamil Nadu's demand for retrieving Katchatheevu has been ignored. It does not appear that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who went to Sri Lanka, raised the fishermen's release, too." "This is regrettable and disappointing," he added.
