"The declaration that the Sri Lankan Navy will sell the boats of tamil Nadu fishermen detained for fishing over the border is deplorable," said Vaiko, the Ministry's Secretary General. The Central bjp continues to violently assault tamil Nadu fishermen fishing across the indian Ocean, seizing boats and fishing gear, and imprisoning them in Sri Lankan jails for allegedly fishing across the boundary, he said in a statement released today.
The administration's indifference to the plight of tamil Nadu fishermen, as well as its handshake with Sri Lankan rulers, has emboldened the racist government in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan government's intruding on indian seas and firing on tamil Nadu fisherman received no official condemnation from the indian government. That is why the Sri Lankan government's atrocities continue. On december 15, 2020, I published a statement stating that necessary action should be taken to recover them. However, the federal bjp government was still careless.
The Sri Lankan government has modified the Fisheries Act in order to fully prohibit tamil Nadu fishermen from fishing. Fishermen who breach the border would be arrested under the new law, with fines ranging from Rs 60 lakh to Rs 1.75 crore and up to two years in prison. The Sri Lankan government has enacted this law in order to persecute tamil Nadu fishermen. On december 15, 2016, I personally spoke with prime minister Modi and requested that he press the indian government to rescind this lethal regulation enacted by the Sri Lankan government that targets tamil Nadu fishermen who customarily fish in the Bagh seas.
