Fishermen from India and Sri Lanka need to talk to overcome their territorial disputes, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Friday.

"When it comes to fishermen, on a number of occasions we have discussed the matter with Sri Lanka," he told the media in New Delhi, referring to unending clashes on the narrow sea dividing the two countries.

He said the problem can be resolved only if fishermen's representatives from both countries "sit together and arrive at a solution".(IANS)

The only solution is you stay on your side and we will stay on our side. There is nothing else to talk.

Sri Lanka should not walk into the trap and give recognition to their contention which is a threat to our territorial claims.

Well said. He should talk to his fishermen as they are the ones who are poaching. This statement is only to placate the fat lady in TN who he is mortally afraid of
