India Gifts SLNS Sagara Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) To Sri Lankan Navy (Formerly ICGS Varaha)

Article VI of the agreement protects the fishing rights of both the nations.

No sorry, that article 6 does not provide indians the right to fish in Sri Lankan waters it only provide the fishermen to fish in ther OWN traditional waters. The 1976 agreements signed by india, would also prevent indians from fishing in Sri Lankan waters or for that matter any soverreign nations terrirotial waters / exclusive economic zones. Do you really think, modi would not have taken this issue up with the Sri Lankans if such an agreement existed? The indian government knows that the Tamil fishermen are poaching, admitted by even the indian coast guard.

Now forget about Sri Lanka, explain why Tamil Nadu fishermen are poaching our waters...1000,s of km away?
