The position taken by the Sri Lakan side is correct.

It is true that the trawlers are owned by rich capitalists and these trawlers if they poach in our waters must be confiscated after giving the Indian Government adequate notice. However, it is the so-called “poor fishermen” who actually poach and they must be imprisoned for a minimum period say one year before being released.

The reason for the Indian invasion of Sri Lankan waters is not only fishing. It is for smuggling of drugs. This has been going on for decades. It is for this reason that Sri Lanka had the TAFII (Task Force against Illicit Immigrants) several decades ago. Stop these boats, and part of the drug and Ganja menace will be reduced.

Why are some countries more equal than others ? When Sri Lanka vessels violated maritime boundaries the EU warned and subsequently stopped SL exporting fish to the EU, however Indian vessels have consistently violated SL waters over many years and India is not given any warning, or ban ???

One important issue which also needs to be addressed is the construction of the land link bridge between India and Sri Lanka formally proposed by Ranil. This is a project which will find support with the BJP government because they like to preserve Ram Sethu which is a Hindu religious symbol and abandon the Sethu Samudram Project.

Better no have any land links with India.
