Not a single TN fishermen was killed by SL Navy - India

[Skyline]

Not a single fisherman from TN has been killed by the Sri Lankan Navy since April 2011 in Indian waters, the Central Government has informed the Madras HC (Madurai Bench). Further no warships were being sold to Lanka and only Offshore Patrol Vehicles (OPVs) would be traded.


The submissions were made in a counter affidavit filed by Mayank Joshi, Deputy Secretary (Sri Lanka) on behalf of the Union Ministries of External Affairs and Defence in response to a petition seeking to stop the proposed sale of warships to Sri Lanka.


The petitioner had expressed apprehension that the warships could be used by the Island Nation to attack TN fishermen, who were repeatedly fired at in mid-sea by the Navy. Denying the charges, Joshi said the ICG ships on patrol duty had not come across incidents of Indian fishermen being fired upon while fishing in Indian waters. Further he said the Lankan Navy had categorically stated that it never entered Indian waters. Besides, the Island Nation’s Navy had assured that they have been adhering to a “No Firing” policy on Indian fishermen.


The affidavit said that the Indian Government had reached a mutual understanding with the Sri Lankan Navy. As per this the latter would not open fire at Indian fishing vessels and Indian fishermen would not venture into sensitive areas.


Stating that the IMBL was being regularly patrolled by ships and aircraft of the Indian Navy and Coast Guard for the safety of Indian fishermen, Joshi said, “It is only as a result of these efforts of the Government, that no cause of deaths of Indian Fishermen has been reported after April 2011.”


Therefore, he contended that apprehension of the petitioner that the warships would be used to kill Indian fishermen was baseless. The affidavit said the OPV is only 105.7 mtr in length with a cruising speed of 12-14 knots and it is not a warship. Hence the Centre prayed the HC to dismiss the petition. (IndianExpress)

Lol. So that OPV is a fishing boat? Before 2009 SL said they were killed by LTTE. In the period of 2009-2011 scores of fishermens were killed by SL navy. Who are responsible for that? Even before 2009 tales of survived fishermens gave intriguing details of SL ships who killed their colleagues. Congress is bracing itself for a blank in 2014 in TN.
However I accept in recent years killings have abated, though attacks like beatings, tearing fishing net continue.

Have power to detain, arrest and charge. Killing unarmed fishermens even if they cross the border is a crime. I never said they didnt cross the border. But said SL Navy had killed Indian Fishermens in the past.

Hardcore LTTE members remain in the area as the DA has decided to release them due to lack of evidence to commence prosecution among 11,000 probable LTTE suspects.

These Tamil people are not civilized and they kill any other Tamil people who try to take fish that they perceive belongs to them.

SL Navy had attempted to reason with them telling them its only fish.

It is completely understandable they don't understand not to kill over fish, after all they were crazy enough to go to war with their rag tag army against a legitimate armed force 10 larger for 30 years thinking they will eventually win.

That rag tag army did control large parts of a sovereign country. Something which no other terrorist/militant group has managed in the past.
