Tamil Parties will not be able to affect India's Sri Lanka policy too much because BJP has a such a strong mandate.

After a long time, Central govt in India don't need any party's affirmation n vice versa to formulate its foreign policy.

And Similarly if SL keeps killing Indian fishermen how can you expect them to be calm. It's obviously the same situation cause at both sides killing is happening. So gotta look at both sides.

Our fishermen do enter srilankan waters ? But killing part i dont justify.
I know couple of fishermen families in chennai,and one of his cousin from rameshwaram had to swim kms to reach rameshwaram after him boat was destroyed by SL navy.

What killings? Do you think SLN just go there and shoot the illegal Indian (Tamilnadu) fishermen in SL waters without any one hearing or seeing anything?

Everyone except LTTE sympathizers accept that there is no killings but the illegal intentional border crossings by Tamilnadu fishermen thinking SL is like Nepal or Bhutan.

Don't feel sorry if something happened like wise cuz,

1) Fishermen are illegally crossing an international border to steal some other country's resources.
2) They do it intentionally.

Tamil parties have legitimate demands which takes care of legitimate demands of tamil people, I dont think modi can completely ignore tamil parties, even with full majority.
BJP does not have majority in upper house and need coordination with other parties.
