BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) leader Sushma Swaraj, who is also the Leader of the (Indian) Opposition in the Lok Sabha, on Saturday promised to raise in Parliament the resolutions passed by the Tamil Nadu Assembly on retrieving Katchchatheevu and seeking economic sanctions on Sri Lanka.
She was speaking to reporters after meeting AIADMK general secretary and Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.
Ms. Swaraj said that she had requested Ms. Jayalalithaa to send copies of the two resolutions. “We will raise both these issues on the floor of the Lok Sabha.”
Describing the meeting as a “courtesy call,” Ms. Swaraj pointed out that this was the first time they had met after Ms. Jayalalithaa's victory in the Assembly election.
