it is Tamil traditional fishing ground and they have equal rights to fish in Palk, this problem would not have arisen if India, under Indira Gandhi had not gifted Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka, without Tamilnadu's consent or Indian parliament's approval.

Katchatheevu is not Gandhi's personal property to be given away, and why is India stinky about IOK, why not give it to Pakistan ?

Retrieving the island remains the prestigious issue to Tamils. Katchatheevu was ceded to Sri Lanka during Indira Gandhi period on 1974 without approval of houses of the Parliament.

Under Indian occupation, Tamil fishermen and farmers livelihood is destroyed - i.e exploration of Hydrocarbon in agricultural Kaveri delta region, why is India not extracting hydro Carbon in Gujarat or Ganges river basin ?

As long as Tamilnadu is occupied by Indian Imperialist, Tamils will remains as Indian slaves worst than under the British Raj. India will turn a blind eye and cont'd to support Sri Lanka's harassment of Tamilnadu fishermen

Sri Lanka to commission first India-built OPV

No Indian prime minister has the right to gift territory to foreign states without approval of the parliament
there is petroluem drilling in Maharastra and Gujarat. Most of the Ganges river basin ends in Bangladesh

Katchatheevu was formed due to volcanic eruption in the 14th century. The 285-acre land, strategically important for fishing activities, was owned by the Raja of Ramnad (Ramanathapuram) and later became part of the Madras Presidency after the delimitation of Gulf of Mannar and Palk Strait during British rule between the then governments of Madras and Ceylon. In 1921, both Sri Lanka and India claimed this piece of land for fishing and the dispute remained unsettled.

In 1974, Katchatheevu was ceded to Sri Lanka by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi through the Indo-Sri Lankan Maritime agreement to settle the maritime boundary in the Palk Strait with her counterpart Srimavo Bandaranaike. This forced M. Karunanidhi, then chief minister of Tamil Nadu, to write to Indira Gandhi on how the land was historically a part of Ramnad’s zamindari. The Indo-Sri Lankan agreement allows Indian fishermen to fish around Katchatheevu and to dry their nets on the island. But Sri Lanka regime violates that agreement and challenges Indian links to Katchatheevu.

Katchatheevu was ceded to Sri Lanka in violation of the court under the 1974 and 1976 agreements without the approval of two Houses of Parliament. The legality of the transfer was challenged in the Indian Supreme Court since the recognizing was not ratified by the Indian parliament. This unnecessary recognition of an island that is culturally important to fishermen of Tamil Nadu state in India has led to some agitations by Tamil Nadu people and politicians that it should be claimed to Indian sovereignty. The main problem continues to grow as more fisherman move into the Sri Lankan sea area for fishing work which Sri Lanka calls as illegal poaching. In 2010 the Sri Lankan government issued a notice to the Tamil Nadu government saying the Indian Supreme Court cannot nullify the 1974 agreement and Katchatheevu now belongs to them and Indians are not allowed to fish there.
