Katchatheevu issue: Udaya seeks official documents from FM in terms of RTI

The PHU leader told The Island that he felt the need for public disclosure of the relevant documents and what he called historical evidence as well as exchange of letters between India and Sri Lanka in the wake of India’s ruling Bharathiya Janatha Party (BJP) raising Katchatheevu in the run-up to the Indian general election, scheduled to commence on April 19.
