Indian poachers deprive northern fishermen of livelihood: Sri Lanka

What I am mentioning (reminding the Sri Lankans) is the "other" country agreed to let our fishermen fish in their traditional fishing grounds even after the Island was given to "the other country".

So we expect them to honor that agreement, that international obligation which they agreed to at that time. Simple as that.

Any country hasn't right to cross their borders and go someone else waters, this effects Sri Lankan fishermen's rights.

That should have been communicated by the Sri Lankans when they agreed to these demands while getting the Island from India, not after 40 years.

In that case did the Govt of SL at that time lie through its teeth just to get territory from India ? If they were not honorable in meeting their obligations under the treaty why should the SL Govt expect us to honor them ?

Lets be fair.

so it's then funny when Sri Lankan fishermen get arrested by Indian Navy, Sri Lankan fishermen also have same right to enjoy their traditional waters then?
