Indian fisherman shot dead by Sri Lankan navy

Indian poachers have assaulted 6 Sri Lankan fishermen while they were engaged in deep sea fishing within Sri Lankan maritime waters off Kankasanturai.

But how is killing justified? Has there been any single incident of Sri Lankan fishermen being killed by our authorities? Funnily though, most of these Sri Lankan fishermen are also of Tamil origin. So there is no ethnic angle here, at least in the conflict between these fishermen.
 
Karunanidhi is a Tamil nationalist? It was during his time that the most number of fishermen were killed and he stayed silent. Your first mistake was calling him a Tamil nationalist.

Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Muthuvel Karunanidhi is one of the greatest living Tamils. He is a GREAT Tamil nationalist. He put his life on the line making a daring attempt to get our country (Tamil Nadu ) free from India in 1975 by seeking American help. He could be hung if Indian gov knew it at that time. It was reveALed in Wikileaks documents only a few years ago.

Yes, Sri Lankan navy killed lots of our fishermen when he was chief minister. There was nothing he could do to stop it. Tamil Nadu does not have a navy for him to order. That is why we want Tamil Nadu independence. We will have our own miltary and we will protect our people. If Tamil Nadu had a navy, Sri Lankan navy would not even dare to come at the sight of our fishermen.

Its completely justified to kill a few as the Sri Lankan tamil people suffer due to thousands of Indian mechanized trawlers come and strip Sri lankan oceans of Marine resources. Sri lankan fishermen who use smaller boats (Mostly given by the SL govt) cannot compete with thousands of Indian Mechanized Trawlers that use Illegal methods that damage Sri lankan fish resources permanantly. Our boats are destroyed ,Fishermen attacked inside our own waters and even stealing equipment and catch from our fishermen. This has gone beyond just a fishing dispute and Indian fishermen are using terrorism and borderline piracy.

Discussions to end the issue went down when Indian fishermen kept demanding that they must be allowed to fish in SL waters
 
Your sympathy for the Tamil people is greatly appreciated! Bless you brother!!

He is talking about the Sri Lankan Tamil fishermen, who want the Indian Tamil fishermen to be stopped from fishing in their waters. Not the same sides. Did you even read his post? He is in favor of Indian Tamil fishermen being shot to safeguard the interests of SL Tamil fishermen. And you support that? Whose side are you on now?
 
I am not sure "poaching" is a good word time name this. More like an invasion
It is already considered a "rape" of Sri lanka waters

Is that why he is the most hated person in TN? This thread is teeming with trolls, who have no effin idea about anything. Don't even talk to me further unless you can converse in Tamil.
 
What happened to the joint mechanism between India and Srilanka?

It would be wise for Srilanka to not to provoke India.
 
Tamil Nadu Fisherman's Killing: Sri Lankan Navy Has Promised Probe, Say Government Sources
Reported by J Sam Daniel Stalin | Updated: Mar 07, 2017 12:27 IST

Tamil Nadu fisherman shot dead allegedly by Lankan navy
Protests in Rameswaram over killing; family has refused to accept body
Government expressed deep concern, raised matter with Lankan PM: sources
Chennai: Amid huge anger in Tamil Nadu over the killing of a 22-year-old fisherman by the Sri Lankan navy, government sources said today that Colombo has promised "full and thorough investigation". India has raised the killing with Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, said sources, and expressed its deep concern.
More than a thousand people gathered at the home of the fisherman, Bridgo, in Rameswaram this morning, and his family has refused to accept his body without action by the Indian and Lankan governments.
Bridgo was fishing close to the Katchatheevu islet when Lankan naval personnel opened fire, said Fisheries Department official Kulanchinathan.
Bridgo was shot in the neck and died instantly. Another fisherman, Sharon, was shot in his leg. The fishermen returned to the shore after midnight.
The Lankan personnel did not fire a warning shot before shooting at the fishermen, alleges Rameswaram Fishermen Association President P Sesuraja. Around 2,000 fishermen were taken by surprise when they were fired at, he added.
Chief Minister K Palaniswami has condemned the killing. The Tamil Nadu government had yesterday protested against the rise in fishermen being caught by Sri Lanka and said the centre "did not seem to put adequate pressure" on Colombo.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr Palaniswami had referred to the arrest of 32 Indian fishermen by Lanka in the last few days and said the incidents had caused hardship and mental agony to the fishermen community.
Tamil Nadu says 85 fishermen and 128 fishing boats are currently in Lankan custody and has urged the centre to take action through diplomatic channels.
The opposition DMK's MK Stalin said, "India should warn Sri Lanka diplomatically that this can't be tolerated and there will be strong repercussions."
Tamil Nadu claims Indian and Sri Lankan fishermen have traditional rights to fish in both territories. The state is also working legally and politically to retrieve the Katchatheevu islet India had gifted Lanka in the early seventies, so that Indian fishermen would get more space to fish.

Indian side keeps on demanding that they must be allowed to fish in SL waters which resulted in discussions breaking down

“Not 65 days, we will not agree for even 65 hours,” fisheries minister Mahinda Amaraweera said. Speaking in the southern port town of Galle, the minister said that the Lankan government had refused to agree to India’s proposal of allowing Indian fishermen to catch fish for 65 days a year in Lankan waters in its bid to resolve the fishing issue, a major irritant in bilateral ties.

do you have a clue what sarcasm is?

Most hated? His party DMK got about 35% vote in the last assembly election and your favourite BJP got 2%

Tamil Nadu Fisherman's Killing: Sri Lankan Navy Has Promised Probe,

Late news. UNHRC criticized Sri Lanka for the worrisome delay in probing war crimes committed by sri Lankan army in 2009. Some 40000 Tamils wewre killed by Sri Lankan military
 
do you have a clue what sarcasm is?

Do you have a clue what making stuff up is? Of course you do. You made up stuff about Karunanidhi didn't you?

Do you know what Katchatheevu is?

Do you know which CM of Tamil nadu gave it a away to Sri Lanka in the 1970s?

Do you know how Katchatheevu is the central issue to all the fishermen conflicts today?

Do you know Karunanidhi, the Tamil nationalist you spoke about, was the reason that a part of Tamil Nadu was given away to Sri Lanka?

Do you know he is hated for his drama during the SL war?

Do you know that his daughter Kanimozhi was seen exchanging cordialities with Rajapaksa?

Your trolling only showcases how much of an idiot you are. Man, you Pakistanis aren't even good at trolling. That manlion was a better troll. Again, I am not going to be part of a thread were trolls like you who have no clue about what they are talking babble about stuff. If you want my response further speak to me in Tamil to show that you are not a troll. Or else, happy trolling.

Btw, my favorite in TN is AIADMK, the party of Hindutva champion Jayalalithaa. That is the party I voted for. Wanna find out how much that party won?

Also for you: DMK MPs with Rajapaksa.

Well done to the Sri Lankan security forces.

The Indians have been stealing and raping Sri Lankan resources for far too long.

Under the current political set up, Tamil Nadu CM cannot give away any part of Tamil Nadu to any country. Only the Indian gov caN do that. An Indian gov gave away Tamil Land to Sri Lanka
