Indian Parliamentary panel today expressed concerns over the repeated arrests of Indian fishermen by Sri Lankan authorities, the Business Standard today reported.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs also voiced concerns over the growing proximity between Sri Lanka and China.

"During the meeting, few members raised concerns over the repeated arrests of fishermen from Tamil Nadu and the harassment they are being subjected to by the Sri Lankan authorities," one of the committee members said.

A panel member, belonging to the AIADMK, demanded the review of the marine boundary agreements between the two countries.

The agenda of the committee, which was briefed by Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale, was India-Sri Lanka relations -- trade and security, including the fishermen issue. The panel is headed by Congress Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor.

According to one of the members, Tharoor expressed his concern about the growing proximity between Sri Lanka and China and its impact on India.

    What right do they have to talk about our relations with China? Next they'll tell us to keep away from Russia.

    China should tell them to mind their business as they did in Male.
