India is our friend, neighbour and support whole heartedly to crush terrorism and we have the right to enter India any time we need. People from Matara, Galle and Chilaw are not Tamils fro India to ban! To maintain relationship relatives must visit often.

Fishing boundary changes season to season therefore it is futile to talk about this in racial tones Tamil fishermen Sinhala fisherman etc., It is routine, they may arrest release arrest release and their is a protocol to do that but the smuggling through the fishing activities needs special attention that we can't tolerate like poaching in nautical boundaries which we can't draw in water.
