Demands for taking back Katchatheevu island from Sri Lanka, constitutional status for Bhojpuri, setting up of a Project Rhino, resolution of Mhadei river water dispute were among several issues raised in the Indian Lok Sabha today.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour, K N Ramachandran (AIADMK) expressed concern over growing harassment of Tamil Nadu fishermen from Sri Lankan Navy.
He said as part of finding a permanent solution, India should take back the Katchatheevu island given to it in 1974 as suggested by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.
He contended that the island, which has been vital for Indian fishermen, could be taken back given the fact that the concerned agreement has not been ratified by Parliament.
