Statement by Spokesperson on media reports that Indian Navy physically attacked Sri Lankan fishermen
June 18, 2021
Statement by spokesperson of High Commission of India
Media reports on 17 June stating that a group of Sri Lankan fishermen were attacked physically by the Indian Navy are blatantly false. We deny any such incident having taken place. The Indian Navy is a highly disciplined and professional force which discharges its responsibilities in an impeccable manner. India is firmly committed to addressing all fishermen related issues between India and Sri Lanka in a humanitarian manner through established bilateral mechanisms and understandings.
