Hefty penalty on Indian fishermen will not affect Indo-Lanka relations:Minister Hakeem
The decision of the Sri Lankan Government on imposing a hefty penalty on Indian fishermen crossing the border while fishing will not affect the relations with India, Lanka’s minister for urban development Rauff Hakeem told NDTV in an interview. Minister Hakeem was quoted as saying the government would take steps to ensure the proposed fine does not affect the relationship between India and Colombo. Mr Hakeem was quoted while speaking briefly with reporters at the airport on Monday. He however declined to speak further on the issue but said electing R. Sampanthan as the Opposition leader would improve the relations between the two countries. “He (Sampanthan) will be able to bring up the problems and the requirements of Tamils in the island nation to the notice of the government there,” he was quoted as saying.
