Chennai:
DMDK. President Vijayakanth said in a statement:-
10 fishermen who had gone by boat from Karaikal on the 15th were fishing in the deep sea when the Indian Navy opened fire on them. Weeravel, a fisherman from Mayiladuthurai, was shot in the leg and is receiving treatment.
Tamil Nadu fishermen are already suffering from loss of livelihood due to continuous attacks by Sri Lankan Navy. In this situation, the attack on our fishermen by the Indian Navy itself is like pouring water on a sore wound.
It is painful that the alternating ruling parties in Tamil Nadu are having fun without stopping the attack on fishermen. The lives of fishermen who live in water should not end in tears. Central and state governments should ensure that such incidents do not recur. Central and State Governments should provide financial assistance to fishermen Weeravel.
He said this.
