Eye Opening And Startling: PM As Report Says Indira Gave Away Indian Island To Sri Lanka
Mumbai: On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed, citing a media report, that fresh information showed the Congress had “callously” given the island of Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka.
“Eye opening and startling! New facts reveal how Congress callously gave away Katchatheevu. This has angered every Indian and reaffirmed in people’s minds- we can’t ever trust Congress,” he said on X, sharing the report.
Modi said, “Weakening India’s unity, integrity and interests has been Congress’ way of working for 75 years and counting.”
As it prepares for the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP is optimistic that the issue will help its attempts to gain electoral momentum in the Dravidian state.
The study is predicated on an RTI response that Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai obtained regarding the 1974 decision of the Indira Gandhi government to cede the area across the Palk Strait to the neighbouring nation.
The first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, stated that he would not hesitate to give up claims to the island, a point of contention between India and Lanka, according to the article.
