Indian central government prepared to revise Kachchatheevu issue.

Tuesday , 14 May 2013

Indian central government is prepared to review the Kachchatheevu issue said Central Coordinating Minister Narayanasamy on his visit to Chennai amidst journalists at the airport.

 

In his interview he said according to Indian, Sri Lanka accord, Kachchatheevu was granted to Sri Lanka. However Indians are not permitted for the festivals held there.

 

There is provision for Indian fishermen to relax and dry their fishing nets at Kachchatheevu when they go for fishing. However in recent times, complaints are received that agreement is violated.

 

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha in this situation implemented a resolution at the Legislative Council to recover Kachchatheevu from Sri Lanka.  Diravida Munnetra Kalaga Leader Karunanidhi has filed a case in Supreme Court to claim Kachchatheevu.

 

The opinions of the Tamil people subsequently compelled the Central government to process preparations to revise the Kachchatheevu issue said Naranayasamy.

 

He said authorization is for the Indian fishermen to relax in Kachchatheevu and to dry their fishing nets, when engaged in fishing.
