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.

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

[@therash09]

Clearly remember watching this live on TV. A legendary episode of Newshour!

[@ravishcooler6008]

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...

I at least got to know how different ways you can use the word liar, and by the way, Arnab seriously needs to get his facts right and form proper sentences. His remarks are accusatory, inciting and full of attempts of getting more TRP

One thing is clear in arnab show is that, when he asks a question the other person has answer in one word yes or no? Is he conducting any competitive exams in his channel. 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.

what kind of journalist Arnob is Really? He expects Some one to use his friendly relations with president of another country to go against his country court's verdict ? what is this? Mohalle ki murgiyo ki ladai? a sensible way is to use the bilateral treaty with his country and direct diplomatic pressure. If Arnob really appreciates Viewer's views, here it is... learn to listen and learn to apply minds. day by day, you are making your show intolerable.

Arnab is a true journalist of today's times ... a complete entertainer ... with a vocal chord that has the highest decibel ..... a journo who is always ready to lie to create sensation and worse than a politician as his opinion has a vaster reach and creates sensation ... a man who cannot hear or let someone say anything that is beyond the truth as per his perception ... but last but not the least he a true journalist of today who creates the sensation ....

swamy is right - arnab trying get trp

[@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.

[@shyamkant4911]

Arnab: Dr. Swamy. tonight you are going to end up looking very bad. Dr. Swamy should have said : me just once. But you always do. He is a joker in Indian News television and people watch his show only as Entertainment not for Information. He thought he can take on Dr. Swamy like how he took Surjit Singh Poonawala. #WhatALooser.
