Sri Lanka will officially turn down India’s proposal to share their territorial waters by fishermen so as to avoid clashes in the fishing industry, Fisheries Minister Rajitha Senaratne said yesterday.

India’s Naval and Coast Guard Department representatives are expected to hold talks with the Fisheries Ministry on Friday in Colombo to discuss how to resolve the problems faced by the fisheries sectors of the two countries.

Dr. Senaratne said this meeting would be attended by representatives from Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Andra Pradesh and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

“On several occasions, Sri Lankan fishermen had been arrested by the Indian coast guards. We will oppose the idea of the sharing the territorial waters by Indian and Sri Lankan fishermen. We cannot allow any sharing because in such a case, Sri Lanka will always be placed at a disadvantageous position,” he said.

But both countries should encourage their fishermen to venture out on deep sea fishing. The fishermen’s issue has already led to a diplomatic row between the two countries. Sri Lankan fishermen, particularly in areas such as Jaffna charge that their fishing grounds were being exploited by a large number of Tamil Nadu fishermen who are depriving them of the only form of livelihood available to them.

Any Indian attack on Sri Lanka, will create more problems to India, come on attack us.... By the way next monday Indian FM will visit Sri Lanka to talk about better ties....

India will not attack Sri Lanka, the proposal for common waters is because of the irrationally high numbers of arrested fisherman on both sides. What is wrong with this place, when a proposal for compromise and understanding is always interpreted as weakness.

Nice trolling by some Pakistanis.

Good news from Sri Lanka.

Long Live Pakistan-Sri Lanka-China Friendship.
C'mon, you can try something more to write over here...:rofl:
Ontopic : It's SL's decision and they all right to answer as they r a sovereign nation..We respect Srilanka and its dignity and obviously, atleast don't expect any kind of attack from indian side..
It's just proposed so that the fisherman from both countries could freely do fishing in the water..If you thing indians will outnumber you then this should be taken to the table and needs to be solved out..

When ever some one comes with a proposal, You can accept it or reject it, It is your choice.

India had never attacked a nation for more than 1000 years... That does not mean we are weak.
