A top Indian Naval officer today said that there was no ‘pre-planned’ method adopted by Sri Lankan Navy in attacking Indian fishermen who strayed into their waters, the PTI reported.

“These are transitional incidents and there is no pre-planned method adopted by Sri Lanka (Navy) in attacking fishermen, who strayed into its border,” Flag Officer Commanding in Chief, Southern Naval Command, Vice-Admiral K N Sushil told reporters.
 

As there was reported movement of LTTE cadre in the sea, the naval force has no other option, but to fire, as per the job given to them, for that matter any force, Sushil said.
 

“I don’t think that there was any incident, when Sri Lanka deliberately opened fire on Indian fishermen,” he said, adding, proper investigation would throw light on such incidents, if any. He was replying to a question on Tamil Nadu fishermen being fired at or killed allegedly by Sri Lankan Navy.

    Indian Navy has always absolved the Lankan Navy of wrongdoing as they know the real truth that Tamil Nadu fishermen are poaching in our seas and are engaging in smuggling activities. Although the Lankan Navy has been allowing them to fish in our seas the reported movement of sediment LTTE cadres justifies shooting anybody trespassing our territory. It's time for the Lankan govt to step up intelligence network among the fishermen of both sides!

    There is every possibility that RAW will activate the sleeping cadres to wean SL away from China. They know that the only handle left for them is through the LTTE. Just like the West even India was not happy about the annihilation of the LTTE!

    You are quite right, Sir. The SLN is jittery even now, after over a year of the war being over and they do not want to take chances after suffering losses to LTTE Sea Tigers masquerading as fishermen during the war. Your logical thinking is well appreciated.
