BJP leader Subramanian Swamy today urged Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa to meet Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa in Colombo to work out a compromise to resolve the recurring issue of the arrest of Indian fishermen by the island nations's navy.

In a statement here, Swamy also called upon Jayalalithaa to visit Jaffna in Sri Lanka, saying that the Tamil residents there were objecting to what they claimed was poaching by Indian fishermen in areas near Jaffna Peninsula. He further claimed that Indian fishermen were invariably crossing the international medial border line in the Gulf of Mannar.

Swamy's statement follows a letter from the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to Prime Minister Narendra Modi today seeking his personal intervention for securing the release of all Indian fishermen jailed by the island nation for allegedly fishing in its territorial waters.

"It is with a deep sense of anguish that I write to you again to report one more incident in which 11 fishermen from Tamil Nadu along with three boats have been apprehended by Sri Lankan Navy," she said in her letter to Modi. (Source: Financial Express)

SL should isolate all 3rd class politicians and get close to people with brain. But should start at home first. via DM Android App

If she comes to meet MR, one of our ministers would like to marry in the name of national reconciliation.

She is only a Chief Minister of one of the States in India and has no business meeting the Head of a country. Sri Lanka should only deal with the PM of the Central Government in Delhi if there are any issues to be resolved.
