Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reconsider the Indo-Sri Lankan agreement on Katchatheevu. The request comes in light of the recent increase in attacks on Indian fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy. Stalin emphasized the importance of protecting the livelihoods of Tamil Nadu fishermen who rely on the waters around Katchatheevu for their fishing activities. The Chief Minister highlighted that the 1974 and 1976 agreements between India and Sri Lanka had adversely affected the fishing community in Tamil Nadu and urged PM Modi to review the pact to ensure the safety and well-being of Indian fishermen. The issue of attacks on Indian fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy has been a long-standing concern and has strained relations between the two countries. By revisiting the agreement on Katchatheevu, Tamil Nadu hopes to find a solution that will safeguard the interests of its fishermen. The plea from Chief Minister Stalin comes as a reminder of the challenges faced by the fishing community in the region and the need for diplomatic intervention to address these issues effectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
