A day after 15 Indian fishermen from Tamil Nadu were arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin wrote to Union Minister for External Affairs S. Jaishankar, requesting him for diplomatic intervention to secure the release of the arrested fishermen.
In his letter, Mr. Stalin said the matter required an urgent diplomatic intervention, as the arrest of these 15 fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy and the confiscation of their fishing boats has caused distress and fear among the fishing community in the region.’
