Indians must be repelled now we do not need them Sunday, 12 March 2023 05:22 PM
We are getting IMF loan soon, also the Indian loan/Credit line is getting extended. Once that is done full law must be applied against these Indian thieves. They ruin their own sea floor with bottom trawling now they want to ruin ours and steal fish in our seas too.

Why are we not fishing in our own waters? We must be importing fish from Europe considering the exorbitant prices we are paying for fish. We can address the malnutrition issues by making fish available to people at an affordable price. What is the fisheries ministry doing? I think they have sold our ocean to Japan and China.
