Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Thursday, mentioned the island of Katchatheevu, located between Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu in India, in his speech in the Parliament during the no-confidence debate. He asked why the Congress government led by Indira Gandhi gave away the Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka in 1974.
The PM’s comments come right before Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremsinghe’s visit to New Delhi. Earlier, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin had written to PM Modi asking him to retrieve the island, which has been caught in a political controversy, from Sri Lanka. The Tamil Nadu assembly adopted a resolution demanding the retrieval of the island of Katchatheevu in 1991.
