PM Ignoring TNs Demand, Hasnt Taken Steps To Resolve Fishermen Issue: Stalin

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday for neglecting Tamil Nadu's demands regarding the fishermen issue and the retrieval of Katchatheevu islet with Sri Lanka during his recent visit there.

Speaking in the assembly, Stalin also accused PM Modi of not initiating steps to release Tamil Nadu's fishermen and their fishing boats.

"This only shows that Tamil Nadu's demand for retrieving Katchatheevu has been ignored. It does not appear that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who went to Sri Lanka, raised the fishermen's release, too. This is regrettable and disappointing," PTI quoted Stalin as saying.
