India's High Commissioner to Sri Lanka Tuesday (Nov. 4) met the five Indian fishermen, who have been sentenced to death by a court here for alleged drug trafficking, and assured them of "unstinted support" by the government to secure their early release and repatriation. Indian envoy Yash Sinha, who visited Welikada Prison in Colombo this morning, met the five fishermen at the Superintendent's office where he handed over some clothes and toiletries and enquired about their welfare, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said in New Delhi. "He (Sinha) assured them of unstinted support and cooperation of government of India in ensuring that their case receives the utmost attention. He also assured them that the government will make all efforts to secure their early release and repatriation to India," he said. The five Indian fishermen - Emerson, P Augustus, R Wilson, K Prasath and J Langlet, all hailing from Tamil Nadu, were apprehended in 2011 and were sentenced to death by the Colombo High Court on October 30, 2014, for alleged drug trafficking. The court ruling had triggered fiery protests in parts of Tamil Nadu and sporadic violence broke out in and around Rameswaram island as a large number of people staged protests against the Sri Lankan court's verdict. India is pursuing the case at legal as well as official levels with the Sri Lankan government. "The fishermen appeared in good health and requested for permission to write to their relatives in Tamil Nadu and also to make telephone calls. The prison authorities readily agreed and stated that they would arrange for telephone calls to be made by the prisoners to their relatives in a couple of days. Meanwhile, they were free to write letters to their relatives," the spokesperson added. The fishermen expressed their happiness at the High Commissioner personally coming to meet them and thanked him for this gesture, he further said. The issue of fishermen is a very emotive matter for both Sri Lanka and India, where Tamil Nadu-based parties including AIADMK and DMK have been regularly pressing New Delhi to take up the matter with the Lankan authorities seriously and have often resented high-profile visits from the island nation.
In a debate moderated by TIMES NOW's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami, panelists -- Dr Subramanian Swamy, Sr Leader, BJP; Sumanth C Raman, Political Analyst; Raj Shekar, Advocate; Dr. E.M. Sudarsana Natchiappan, MP, Rajya Sabha, Congress -- discuss whether the Centre can pass this diplomatic hurdle.

A bad day for Arnab! He should have not said that Swamy wanted the fishermen to be hanged. The whole argument went tangent opposite. The real topic for discussion should be about Vaiko protesting in Chennai and Swamy's comments about such protest.

Dr Swamy is the example of the power of a common man in democracy...He single handedly takes on issues which even bigger parties are afraid of taking and gives logical solutions based on law...All these so called parties which boast on echoing Tamil sentiments have nothing but political motives..Hats off Dr.swamy for your service to the nation...More learned youths will follow your path once they are done with their material pursuits...and that day is not far...

really, how much money does times now get to peddle this propaganda to discredit Dr.Swamy? He is the only person who tried to get the fishermen and all these so called Tamil senti"mental" parties are jumping and croaking like frogs inside a well..They just can't digest that they can't make any money out of fake "Tamil cause"

[@rajaramam]

Tamil(corrupt parties-DMK and AIADMK) with a petty regional mindset want to get the fishermen back. But nobody has the will to do anything and every so called tamil parties have antagonized Srilanka government so much that they are unable to influence anybody. So they want Dr.Swamy to do all the work, but they are not ready to give him any credit. In Tamilnadu these so called tamil parties try to inflame people with an irrelevant cause for milking money. People of tamilnadu should come out of this irrelevant cause and work with rest of India for the progress of India

First arnab you need learn ethics when you are addressing a public personality. why are you not reveling the letter when Dr.Subramanian Swamy asked you. Dr's words are true you are a big liar and you run a big lie show.

SL Navy arrests 14 Tamil Nadu fishermen in Jaffna Monday, 24 November 2014 GMT The occupying Sri Lanka Navy on Sunday arrested 14 fishermen from Tamil Nadu in the seas off Nedun-theevu (Delft). Three of them are below the age of 18, according to SL police sources. When the engine of a fishing boat had broken, other fishermen had come to the spot to help the fishermen. The SL Navy has assaulted the fishermen, including 14-year-old Dineshkumar, 17-year-old Naveen and 18-year-old Satheeskumar, sources in Nedun-theevu said. The SL Navy has assaulted the Tamil Nadu fishermen using stones and batons, Tamil fishermen in Nedun-theevu said. The arrested fishermen from Tamil Nadu were being detained at KKS. They would be taken to the courts on Monday, the SL police sources in Jaffna said. 10 of the detained fishermen are from Jegathaap-paddinam in Puthuk-koaddai and four are from Rameasvaram. Already 24 fishermen from Tamil Nadu are languishing in Jaffna priso

[@nitarsh]

Tch Tch, At first, Arnab used to be just a jerk mostly towards the extremely stupid types invited to the show. Now, he has become intolerable towards everyone. Not that I think Subramanian Swamy walks around with a halo on his head, but the job of the presenter is to construct the arguments using facts and logical statements to bring out the fallacies in the statements of the visitors. If I was a celeb, I would never accept an invite to this god forsaken show. Atleast journos like Karan Thapar don't resort to shouting illegibly like a chimp everytime some1 says something he doesn't agree to.
