Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has rejected Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s allegation that Tamil fishermen were attacked by the Sri Lankan Navy because of the sins jointly committed by the DMK and the Congress, and said that Katchatheevu was given to Sri Lanka despite strong protests by the DMK.
“Is the Prime Minister so innocent to believe that a State government can cede a part of the country to another nation? What are the steps taken by the BJP in the last 10 years to retrieve Katchatheevu?” he asked on social media.
“Why has the BJP government that pressured the Sri Lankan government for the business interests of the Adani Group not raised its voice for the traditional fishing rights of Tamil fishers?” he asked.
The Chief Minister said the BJP government was ignoring the interests of Tamil Nadu and Modi had no answer when the people asked him to list the special programmes that his government had implemented for the welfare of Tamil Nadu.
