The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) has condemned the release of Indian fishermen by the Sri Lankan government at their central committee meeting this week, reported Colombo Gazette.
JVP MP Sunil Handunetti criticised the move stating that the Sri Lankan government was not concerned with any fishermen that India was holding in custody.
Their condemnation comes as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa wrote to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling for a “strong and robust” response to continued attacks and arrests on Indian fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy.
