坦米尔纳德邦首席部长斯大林(MK Stalin)再次呼吁斯里兰卡收回Katchatheevu岛, 指责人民党领导的中央政府无视要求返回的国会决议, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has renewed calls to reclaim the Katchatheevu island from Sri Lanka, blaming the BJP-led central government for ignoring a state assembly resolution demanding its return. 特别是在总理莫迪访问斯里兰卡后, 他指控联邦政府忽视泰米尔纳德邦渔民的担忧。 He accused the Union government of sidelining Tamil Nadu fishermen's concerns, especially after Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Sri Lanka. 印度人民党领导人 K Annamalai 驳斥了这些言论，认为这是对政府处理卡鲁尔踩踏事件的政治干扰，批评斯大林对这一事件保持沉默，并将该岛 1974 年根据后来于 1976 年正式确定的海事协议割让归咎于前 CM Karunanidhi。 BJP leader K Annamalai dismissed the remarks as a political distraction from the government’s handling of the Karur stampede, criticizing Stalin for silence on the incident and blaming former CM Karunanidhi for the island’s 1974 cession under a maritime agreement later formalized in 1976. 该争端仍然是泰米尔纳德邦的一个敏感问题。 The dispute remains a sensitive issue in Tamil Nadu.
