It is a very good interview with facts. Every, indian fishermen knows he or she is breaking the law to make a buck. It is at the expense of Sri lankan fishermen. They should respect the law and boundry of another country. Take the Canada US boarder, which is world's longest unprotected boarder, there is no violations.
