Indian smugglers not fishermen. Most of the items sold in Pettah are smuggled.

Arresting the Indian fishermen and after few months , succumbing to Indian government demands , releasing them and their boats has become a “predictable sports”. We have to think differently. Navy should be authorised to sink all the Indian boats within five minutes of arresting the Indian fishermen. This could be the best deterrence under these circumstances.

Sink the boats and return the fishermen. This has become a joke. Same shit different day.

These are nothing but an OFTEN drama that Sri Lanka plays all these days to win the elections to be held this year. Await, a delegate from India will meet pro-LTTE-Eelamist Ranil to release those who got arrested and entered Sri Lankan sea waters from India. Undoubtedly, Indians succeed and Sri Lanka loses the united SRI LANKA concept.

With Ranil's megalomania, Sri Lanka wants to send a Chinese junk battleship into the fight against the Houthis, but is unable to use its 48,000 Navy soldiers and around 270 ships and boats to capture or sink 100 Indian fishing boats every day.

It must be a two way street. Sri Lankan fisherman may be poaching Indian waters also. It is just that media do not report it.
