CM Stalin responds to PM's remarks on Katchatheevu row
Just before the lok sabha polls, after a "ten-year-slumber," the people of tamil Nadu, according to chief minister MK stalin, wish to raise "three questions" to those who have stirred up the Katchatheevu island controversy. In reaction to prime minister Narendra Modi's "double standards" statements against the DMK on the matter, he made this statement. The prime minister said that "new details" about the Katchatheevu island problem "have unmasked DMK's double standards totally" on monday morning.
In a post on X, the prime minister said, "Rhetoric aside, DMK has done NOTHING to safeguard tamil Nadu’s interests. New details emerging on #Katchatheevu have UNMASKED the DMK’s double standards totally."
"DMK and congress are families. Their sons and daughters' success is all that matters to them. They have no regard for other people. He said, "Our impoverished fishermen and fisherwomen in particular have suffered because of their callousness towards Katchatheevu.
"There are three questions that the people of tamil Nadu are asking those who staged a sudden fisherman's love drama for the election after being in Kumbakarna slumber for 10 years," the DMK supremo said in a long tweet in tamil in response to prime minister Modi's criticism.
"If tamil Nadu pays one rupee as tax, why does the Union government return only 29 paise?" The first question was tweeted by the Chief Minister.

Why tamil Nadu was "not given even a single rupee as flood relief despite facing two back-to-back calamities" was the second question posed to the prime minister.
"In the 10 years of the bjp government at the Centre, was there any special scheme for tamil Nadu?" stalin posed the third query while posing it.
Modi was asked to respond to the three issues "without indulging in diversions," by the Chief Minister.
The DMK blasted Modi on sunday for criticising the congress for "callously" ceding control of the strategically important island to sri lanka in the 1970s.
Speaking on behalf of the DMK, Manuraj S claimed that the bjp was "afraid" to campaign on its accomplishments and was instead preoccupied with assigning blame to the opposition.
