Sri Lanka raises strong objections to fisheries clashes with India

Fisheries Minister Douglas Devananda said he also held discussions with BJP Leader Dr. Subramanian Swamy during Swamy’s recent visit to Colombo last week over the fishermen row and Swamy had assured he would raise this issue in the Indian Parliament soon.

 

Devananda said he was informed that announcements were made throughout the day by the Tamil Nadu leaders to educate the Indian fishermen.

 

Further, Devananda said he will soon set up a committee with the fishermen and marine associations of Sri Lanka and India to engage in discussions to find a solution to the matter.
