President Mahinda Rajapaksa has ordered to release the 29 Indian fishermen, who were arrested for entering Sri Lankan territorial waters last Sunday as a goodwill gesture, the government Information department said today.

It also said that the release of those fishermen will take place tomorrow morning.

Earlier, in view of the swearing-in ceremony of Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister, President Rajapaksa ordered to release all the arrested Indian fishermen.

Tactics to please Modi. I hope Modi is not a fool. Better inform the Navy not to arrest any Indian Fishermen in future.

Why don't you ask Jayalalitha to be the president of Sri Lanka for the rest of your time as a goodwill gesture.
