‘Who lives on Katchatheevu island,’ asks Digvijaya Singh, Kangana Ranaut slams.

Digvijaya Singh on Wednesday commented on the Katchatheevu island which is likely to stoke the controversy further as he said the issue is nonsense. Amid the row over Katchatheevu island which became a political flashpoint ahead of the Lok Sabha election, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Wednesday called the issue ‘nonsense’ and asked, “Who lives on that island? I want to ask this question.” On being told about the issue of the Indian fishermen who got arrested going there, Digvijaya Singh said, “Modiji speaks nonsense, without any head or tail.” Digvijaya’s comment came as Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his public rally in Tamil Nadu referred to the issue once again and said the Congress gave away Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka. “For whose benefit was this decision taken? Congress is silent on this. Thousands of fishermen from Tamil Nadu have been arrested for going near that island…NDA government is continuously releasing such fishermen and bringing them back. Not only this, five fishermen were given death sentences but I brought them back alive. DMK and Congress are not only the culprits of the fishermen but also the culprits of the country,” Modi said on Wednesday.
