The Sri Lankan Navy has allegedly captured 18 Tamil fishermen near Katchatheevu island.
It will definitely intensify the pressure on Indian government to vote against Sri Lanka on a resolution expected to be moved by the US in the upcoming UN meets in Geneva.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa recently wrote a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to take action against Sri Lanka. DMK also demands the same.
These fishermen are from Tamil Nadu’s Rameswaram area.
