Well , how long the problem of poaching is going on? How many governments change hands? How many Ministers, deputy ministers, secretaries of this department got paid out of public funds to solve this on going problem? And top of that another committee? Don't you think it is another way of wasting valuable funds?

Did Wigneswaran speak a word on behalf these Sri Lankan Tamil fishermen. Instead he wasted time spreading hatred among the communities.
