India, Sri Lanka truce on fishermen issue due to Jayalalithaa's blessings: AIADMK
With India and Sri Lanka having agreed to set up a hotline between their coast guards to resolve the prolonged fishermen-related crisis, Tamil Nadu`s ruling AIADMK party gave credit for the breakthrough to ailing Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa.AIADMK leader C. R. Saraswathi told ANI, "Our chief minister has taken a lot of initiatives for the problems faced by Tamil fishermen, as the issue has been prolonged for a long time now. Yesterday, there was a meeting in Delhi, where a very good decision was taken as both countries came to an agreement that if a fisherman crosses the border also, they won`t take severe action from both sides."
