Sri Lanka disputeThe Diplomat
•83% Informative
Narendra Modi raked up the long-settled India -Sri Lanka dispute over the Katchatheevu Island .
India and Sri Lanka have signed agreements accepting Sri Lankan sovereignty over the island.
India ’s Foreign Minister Jaishankar said that the issue is a “live issue. It is an issue which has been very much debated in Parliament and in the Tamil Nadu circles”.
The 1974 Agreement formally confirmed Sri Lanka ’s sovereignty over Katchatheevu island.
With the 1976 agreement, India lost access to Sri Lankan waters.
Tamil politicians in India have been insisting that they got a bad deal.
Sri Lanka fishermen have been urging their political leaders to take more stern action against the Indians .
Sri Lankans believe that the BJP is indirectly holding out the prospect of reclaiming Katchatheevu to attract the votes of Tamil Nadu fishermen.
The BJP ’s stance also serves as justification for allowing Indian fishermen, who have long been encroaching on Sri Lankan waters, to continue with their illegal activities.
