Find solution to Sri Lankan attacks on fishermen: Karunanidhi

DMK president M. Karunanidhi Monday urged the central government to find a permanent solution to the problem of the Sri Lankan Navy attacking Indian fishermen.

In a statement issued here, Karunanidhi said the arrest of Indian fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy is a continuing story.

Citing the recent arrest of 82 Indian fishermen by the neighbouring nation's navy, Karunanidhi said it was expected the attacks and arrests would stop once the BJP-led government assumed office at the centre but these continue.

He said the central government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi should find a permanent solution to the fishermen's problem.
