Noting that India "remains a mute spectator", Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa has urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to immediately and effectively intervene to secure the release of Indian fishermen arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy.
"May I request your immediate and effective personal intervention in this matter which has been a severe source of aggravation in the coastal districts of Tamil Nadu for many months now?," Jayalalithaa said in a letter to Singh Wednesday, text of which was released to the media here Thursday.
Jayalalithaa was referring to the arrest of 35 Tamil Nadu fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy Aug 26.
