The Hon. Mano Ganesan
Hon. Mano Ganesan urged that the issue of northern fishermen be included in the briefing for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s planned visit to Sri Lanka in April. He said the continued loss of property and marine resources is the main problem facing fishermen in the North, distinct from wartime circumstances, and called for discussions aimed at resolving it, offering full cooperation.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Your speech is important. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Sri Lanka in April; I saw that announcement. Please include this matter in the discussion brief. This is the biggest problem faced by fishermen in the North. There is no other issue. Our property and resources are being stolen. During the war, some went there; they helped—that is a different matter. The war ended 15 years ago. Please include this in the brief and discuss it so we can resolve the northern fishermen’s issue. We will extend full cooperation. That is good.
