India’s BJP leader L. Ganesan said that the refusal to meet and talk to the Sri Lankan President and at the same time, demanding a resolution of the Tamils’ issue was similar to asking a doctor to cure sick persons without seeing them, The Hindu newspaper reported. Referring to media reports that Indian fishermen may abide by a seasonal moratorium on fishing across the International Maritime Boundary Line, Ganesan said the Central government would talk to the Sri Lankan government and evolve a permanent solution to the fishermen issue. Once the Centre evolved a permanent solution to the fishermen’s issue, the naysayers, who called the BJP’s efforts ‘mere drama’, would become silent, he said. Asked about the political opposition to Rajapaksa’s visit to Tirupati, he said it was unfair to prevent somebody from pursuing one’s personal belief. Ganesan condemned the attack on journalists from Tamil Nadu covering the Sri Lankan President Rajapaksa’s visit in Tirupati. The BJP leader said it was an attack on the freedom of press and that the party strongly condemned the ‘act of excess’ by the Andhra police. (Colombo Gazette)
