The fishing crisis between Sri Lanka and India will be one of the main issues in the election manifesto of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam’s (DMK) party led by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, at the upcoming assembly polls in the state, reports said.

Releasing the party’s manifesto Karunanidhi has pledged to find a solution to the alleged killing of Indian fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy.

He also said his party would urge the UPA Government at the centre to bring back the Katchatheevu Island that was ceded to Sri Lanka in the 1970s.

"The increasing incidents of fishermen killings, torture and arrests in the recent past have become a regular thing. The only solution for this is to get back Katchatheevu. Attempts with this effect would be made consulting central government," he said.

Karunanidhi also announced that if his party came back to power, then it would distribute rice free of cost to people who come under Below Poverty Line.

The polls to the 234-member Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly will take place on April 13.
