Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Wednesday called the Katchatheevu issue ‘nonsense’ and asked, “Who lives on that island? I want to ask this question.” On being told about the issue of the Indian fishermen who got arrested going there, Digvijaya Singh said, “Modiji speaks nonsense, without any head or tail.”
Digvijaya’s comment came as Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his public rally in Tamil Nadu referred to the issue once again and said the Congress gave away Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka. “For whose benefit was this decision taken? Congress is silent on this. Thousands of fishermen from Tamil Nadu have been arrested for going near that island…NDA government is securing the release of such fishermen and bringing them back. Not only this, five fishermen were given death sentences but I brought them back alive. DMK and Congress are not only the culprits of the fishermen but also the culprits of the country,” Modi said on Wednesday.
