External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi's accusation against the Opposition regarding the Katchatheevu island row stating that the the country's first Prime Minister, wanted to give away the island to Sri Lanka. The issue pertains to the year 1974 when the then Indira Gandhi government had accepted the island was a Sri Lankan area under the India-Sri Lankan maritime agreement. The issue has again resurfaced after a media report based on an RTI reply received by Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai on the 1974 pact.
