Indian Shipping Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pon Radhakrishnan has said that India would also fine Sri Lankan fishermen if Sri Lankan government imposes heavy fines on Indian fishermen for poaching in its territorial waters.

“If reports of the Sri Lankan government wanting to heavily fine Indian fishermen who transgressed into its territorial waters are true, the Indian government too may have to take similar measures,” Mr. Radhakrishnan has told the reporters after meeting with DMK leader M. Karunanidhi in Chennai, the Hindu reported.

WE HAVE NO ISSUE WITH INDIAN GOVERNMENT, WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TAMILNADU IDIOTS.

Thats okay all culprits must be punished.. but Lanka is up on the deal because, not many Lankan fishermen go to Indian waters. The only reason that Indians are coming here is due to over fishing in Indian waters and there are no more fish. Stop stealing the natural resources which are the rightful property of the Lankan people, specially from the north.

India has problems with all neighbouring countries. Recently Nepalese PM has warned India not to interfere with its internal matters.

Do not worry, there is no fish in your territory, that is the reason why the Indians are coming into our territory.

Cannot complain. If we could they could too.

While the Sri Lankan fishermen stray into Indian waters,The Indian fishermen are deliberately pushed intoSri Lankan waters by Tamil Nadu.So where is the "Tit for Tat" concept?

BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 03 November 2015 12:40 PM

But we have more internal problems than external problems.
