Sri Lankan PM's comments snub to Modi: Karunanidhi

Posted on 10th Mar 2015 11:16 am by mohit kumar

Chennai, March 9 (IANS) DMK president M. Karunanidhi Monday termed Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe's justification of the shooting of Indian fishermen as a snub to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Karunanidhi said in a statement that Wickremesinghe justified the killings of Indian fishermen by the Sri Lanka Navy at a time when Modi was set to visit Colombo on March 13-14.

This, he said, was "like a snub" to the Indian prime minister. "It is condemnable."

According to Karunanidhi, Modi should also urge Sri Lanka to let Tamils displaced by the years of conflict to return to their homes, demilitarize Tamil areas and devolve more powers to provinces.

India-Sri Lanka relations have been strained over the shooting of Indian fishermen by the Sri Lanka navy in the narrow sea that divides the two countries. The affected fishermen are from Tamil Nadu.
