The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:
The
Polit Bureau expresses its deep concern at the continuing arrests and
detention in Sri Lanka of fishermen from Tamilnadu. At present there are
210 fishermen and their 70 boats in Sri Lankan custody. The Central
Government should immediately intervene to secure the release of the
fishermen.
The problems faced by the fishermen of
both countries and the crossing of maritime boundaries have to be
discussed and settled. This requires a concerted effort by holding talks
between representatives of fishermen of both countries and the two
governments.
The Polit Bureau urges the Central Government to take steps in this direction.
