October 14, 2015 14:05

At least 47 AIADMK MPs are hot-footing it to New Delhi to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to protest the frequent arrests of Tamil fishermen by the Sri Lankan navy.

AIADMK chief and Tamil Nadu CM J Jayalalithaa has written a three-page letter to Modi, which the MPs will hand over to the PM.

Deputy Speaker of the Tamil Nadu assembly, M Thambidurai, said the fishermen issue is hotting up in the southern part of the state and that Jayalalaitha does not want to remain silent since she fears the DMK will eke political mileage out of the arrests.
