Reiterating its earlier stand on the retrieval of Katchatheevu from Sri Lanka, the Tamil Nadu government has stated that restoration of traditional fishing rights of Indian fishermen, which if not implemented, will mean that Tamil Nadu fishermen will have to stop fishing and starve.

Filing a counter affidavit to a batch of petitions, seeking various directions to prevent killing of fishermen in the waters between two nations, the chief secretary of Tamil Nadu said the state government has always maintained a stand that Katchatheevu island should be retrieved by India and traditional fishing rights of Palk Bay fishermen should be restored.

Indira Gandhi was very generous in giving away Katchatheevu island(rich in fishing) to Lanka in 1974 thus extending their sea borders 10kms from katchatheevu. Her generosity is the reason for 450+ fishermen's death.

Tamilnadu CM is doing the right thing by asking the island back from Lanka as it was against the rule of law, This was done without discussion in both the houses of parliament.

So is there a chance india gets it back ? Tamil Nadu puts claim but will it get back ? not to mention it has terrible relations with Sri Lanka due to the Tamil issues.
