Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has criticized the Congress party over its decision to cede Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka in 1974, calling it a betrayal of India's interests. The island, located 25 km off the coast of Tamil Nadu, has become a significant issue in the state's political campaigns, affecting Indian fishermen who often face detainment by the Sri Lankan Navy. The BJP hopes to leverage this issue to gain political traction in Tamil Nadu ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
