Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar) president G.K. Vasan called on the Central government to take prompt action to secure the release of seven Tamil Nadu fishermen recently apprehended by the Sri Lankan Navy. In a statement, Vasan expressed his dismay over the recent detentions, emphasizing that the fishermen, who were out at sea fishing, were seized by the Sri Lankan Navy's forces on Sunday morning.

Mr. Vasan highlighted the growing pattern of harassment and violence against Tamil Nadu fishermen by the Sri Lankan authorities, urging the Central government to engage in diplomatic efforts with Sri Lanka to prompt the release of the detainees and the return of their vessels.
