Even if the fishermen crossed borders, SL navy causing collision and death is unacceptable. It is an outright violation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Every UN member nation needs to comply with the UN clause. #ArrestSLNavy pic.twitter.com/G6ioAlmM6m

It speaks volumes on how BJP and DMK work hand in hand in uprooting the Tamil fishing settlements.#ArrestSLNavy pic.twitter.com/9xGzD2BUxf
