A tiny island between India and Sri Lanka on the Palk Straight has become the hot button issue in Indian politics. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar addressed the on Katchatheevu issue on Monday and hit out at the Congress and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), saying that they are approaching the matter as they have no responsibility for it.
"Now, every political party in Tamil Nadu has taken a position on this. Two parties, the Congress and the DMK, have approached this matter as though they have no responsibility for it. As though the situation is for today`s central government to resolve, there is no history to this, this has just happened, they are the people who are taking up the cause; that is the way they would like to project it," EAM said addressing a press conference, reported ANI.
