Editorial Perspective
Sri Lankan Navy arrests Indian fishermen for crossing their waters yet remains indifferent towards the rescue of their own hijacked vessel. Therefore, India has to intervene and help Sri Lanka in such situations. In this context, India should pressurise Sri Lanka to stop crackdown on Indian fishermen. |
