PM's Big Attack on Congress
On Sunday, prime minister Narendra Modi attacked the congress for deciding to give sri lanka control of the strategically important island of Katchatheevu, saying the party was "weakening" the nation's interests and integrity. After a Right To Information (RTI) investigation disclosed how the congress administration, led by former prime minister Indira Gandhi, gave the island of Katchatheevu to sri lanka in 1974, PM Modi responded.
PM Modi claimed that the congress "can never be trusted" and that the decision "angered" the people, describing the RTI report as "eye-opening and startling."

"Starting and eye-opening! Recent information shows how congress heartlessly handed Katchatheevu away. This has infuriated every indian and reinforced the belief among the populace that we can never trust Congress! For the past 75 years and more, the congress has worked to weaken India's unity, integrity, and interests," PM Modi wrote on X.
Since there are few fish in indian waters, fishermen from tamil Nadu who live in places like Rameshwaram flock to Katchatheevu island. The fishermen attempt to enter the island by crossing the international Maritime Border Line (IMBL), but the Sri Lankan Navy intercepts them and holds them.
