Transfer of Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka another 'historic dark chapter' of Congress rule: BJP

The BJP has sharply criticised the Congress, labeling the 1974 transfer of Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka as a historic dark chapter that undermined India's national interests. Party spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi highlighted the ongoing difficulties faced by Tamil Nadu fishermen due to this decision. He accused the Congress of a pattern of surrender, citing historical instances like the partition and territorial concessions.
