Ahead of Lok Sabha elections 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public rally in Tamil Nadu’s Vellore. While addressing the meeting, he hit out at Congress, DMK over ‘Katchatheevu’ row and said that the whole country is discussing another hypocrisy of Congress and DMK party.
“Today the whole country is discussing another hypocrisy of Congress and the DMK party. When Congress was in government, these people gave Kachchatheevu Island to Sri Lanka. In which cabinet was this decision taken? For whose benefit was this decision taken? Congress is silent on this. Thousands of fishermen from Tamil Nadu have been arrested for going near that island...NDA government is continuously releasing such fishermen and bringing them back. Not only this, five fishermen were given death sentences but I brought them back alive. DMK and Congress are not only the culprits of the fishermen but also the culprits of the country,” said PM Modi.
