In a memorandum to the Prime Minister, Committee President S Devadoss quoted in the report said Sri Lanka was now willing to release the boats but was insisting that their boats which are now in the custody of the Indian government be released as well.
According to the report the other condition of was that Indian fishermen should come to Sri Lanka to get it done. It was not possible for the fishermen who are poor to travel to that country by air, he said.
