DMK also responsible for 'wrong' of 1974, says Governor Ravi over travails of fishermen
Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi said on Sunday. After meeting the protesting fishermen at Rameswaram, who sought quick release of arrested fishermen and their boats from Sri Lanka, Ravi said the fishing community was a victim of an «iniquitous agreement» of 1974 (between India and Sri Lanka), which was extremely insensitive to the livelihood concerns of the state's poor fishermen.
The governor alleged the ruling DMK was equally responsible «for the wrong of 1974» as it held power at that time in the state.
Law Minister S Regupathy hit back at Ravi, asking him to not «compete» with BJP Tamil Nadu President K Annamalai as the Saffron party's state unit chief is available for politics.
Regupathy asked Ravi to stop his «fictitious tales» about Katchatheevu and urged the governor to take up with PM Narendra Modi the matter of release of Tamil Nadu fishermen from Sri Lanka.
The minister said the governor's allegation of the «wrong of 1974» was a rusted tool and seeking to refute Ravi, he underscored several points. It includes then Chief Minister, M Karunanidhi submitting proof that Katchatheevu is part of India, opposing ceding of Katchatheevu in Parliament and seeking cancelling of the pact between India and Sri Lanka over Katchatheevu.
