Are these really Indian Fisherman, or LTTE cadres trying to infiltrate into the area

India has over 10 million fisherman in tamil nadu itself, they have killed most of the fish including young ones. They have badly managed their fishery resources and illegally enter to SL water to finish our ones too. The jaffna fisherman should parade and protest against this illegal acts by tamil nadu Indians.

Its time to realize that we are a small nation compared to the great Indian nation.Only its matter of time that India would send its giant naval armada to the manner basin to protect its citizen!! Therefor our politicians and others must learn to live in coexistence with our Indian breatheren. i don't think Indian central government would tolerate this kind of unfriendly action coz of the pressure from Chennai.
I must remind to our over zealous patriots about the so called Nehru doctrine. According to Nehru small countries has no place in the future. They have to absorbed into big countries like India, if they want to survive!!!
