Chennai, Aug 21 (TruthDive) : Immediately after successfully conducting TESO (Tamil Eelam Supporters' Organisation) conference the DMK president M. Karunanidhi attacked the Government of India and the Government of Tamil nadu for their failure to prevent atrocities on Indian fishermen by Sri Lanka Navy. His furious attack on the Government comes on the heels of the latest assault and robbery by Lanka Navy men committed over Indian fishermen. Several Indian fisher men have been admitted in Indian hospitals with head injuries
...

...

With showing concerns to Ealem Tamils Mr. Karunanidhi has now taken up the issue of attack on Indian Fishermen by SL Navy and the security threat posed by the state of Sri Lanka in the southern part of India.

Mr. Karunanidhi has recalled the resolutions of TESO conference on retrieving Katchatheevu belonging to Tamil nadu from historic times.

Mr. Karunanidhi has invited statistics on the number of fishermen killed and attacked from 1991 to 2012


He has also reiterated to establish a greater Naval base at Dhanushkodi to counter the uncontrolled Sri Lanka Navy which has an Anti Tamil and Anti India mind set. The Indian Coast Guard has become ineffective and inefficient to prevent the attacks by SL Navy. Moreover the demand by Mr. Karunanidhi assumes significance due to the growing influence of China in Sri Lanka.

Although Mr. Karunanidhi did not adopt a resolution to demand separate Tamil Ealem in TESO Conference he never attempted to hide his dream about creation of Ealem. With Sri Lanka openly sidelining with China it appears that there is no other option for India except to create an Indian Supported Tamil Ealem to establish Indian defence establishments in Trincomalee to counter the defense threats from the alliance of China- Sri Lanka- Pakistan.

Mr Karunanidhi who is nearing his ninety knows very well about Ealem issue. He is trying to balance his coalition politics with the core ideals of DMK. Ms. Jayalalithaa and her supporters are now making no effective steps about these issues except writing letters and conducting small protests, the DMK with a great cadre support can very well take up the campaign against the atrocities committed by Sri Lanka on Ealem Tamils and Indian Tamils.

Its not a Naval base. It has been misquoted. But just a nodal coastguard watch station or something of that effect.

what ever Naval base is all required, now a days Srilanka is turning towards Chinese....

we should permanently station some small frigates along with some fast attack crafts in the gulf of Mannar which will deter SL navy who attacks our fishermen and beat them very brutally with sticks, iron rods, stones and what not. Meantime those frigates should also be assigned with the duty to check that by mistake our fishermen don't enter into SL waters.

It is not material if a base is required or not.

All what is required is that India sends a strong message to SL that they should not take India for granted.

SL is acting too much like a loose cannon!

If SL feels China can save them, then so be it.

India should so poise herself so that China then wonders who will save them!

I have a news that locals in my Home town....In Cholachal ...Indian Navy has plan to establish a Big Navy Base in there...

I wish that Indian Navy should Focus about it

Colachel Port is a small natural harbour in the western side of the district near the town of Colachel.[15] The Indian government has plans to turn it into a major port and container trans-shipment terminal and is now in the process of making a feasibility study. Colachel Port would have certain advantages over other neighbouring ports in India when developed, in that, it would be closer to international shipping lanes — shipping traffic between Europe, West Asia and the Far East passes not far from the port. Also, the port is naturally deep. Being situated close to the tip of the Indian Peninsula and with major ports like Colombo and Singapore in the vicinity, the port is becoming a big port and the Singapore government has sent its team to study the port.[citation

Frigate in the gulf of Mannar?

And ships in the Palk strait ?

Harbour at Dhanushkodi ?

well, people should know a little geography and hydrography before shooting such things...


Gulf of Mannar cover only the Eastern coast of SL... What about the rest... the hot area is Palk Straight....

A few old missile boats are an overkill there.
