This has infuriated every Indian and reinforced the belief among the populace that they can never trust Congress.” He further charged that the Congress was undermining unity in India.”Weakening India’s unity, integrity and interests has been Congress’ way of working for 75 years and counting,” he stated.

Then-prime minister Indira Gandhi recognised Katchatheevu as part of Sri Lanka in 1974.

“The people of Tamil Nadu are quite aware of the actual history, which states that the DMK government’s adamant resistance did not stop Sri Lanka from annexing the island of Katchatheevu in the 1974 and 1976 agreements. Stalin remarked in a post on X, “Is the Prime Minister naive to the extent of believing that a state government can give away a portion of the country to another country?”The matter was brought up by PM Modi during a recent rally in Tamil Nadu.
