Описание: PM Modi Accuses Congress of "Giving Away" Katchatheevu | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Indian prime minister Narendra Modi has accused the Congress party of "callously giving away" the island of Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka. The tiny island was claimed by both countries from 1921 to the 1970s. In 1974, a Congress government under prime minister Indira Gandhi gave up its claim and ceded the island to Sri Lanka. The deal has been rejected by successive Tamil Nadu governments, including the current one led by the DMK. But prime minister Modi's party has blamed both the Congress and DMK of ignoring this issue. The Congress has questioned the timing of this controversy, saying the prime minister is desperate ahead of general elections. Why did India give up this island in 1974? What will be the impact of this controversy? Palki Sharma tells you.
