Sri Lankan Tamil MP Chinnathambi Yogeswaran today suggested construction of a Hindu temple at Katchatheevu ceded by India to Sri Lanka under an agreement in 1974.
Tamil outfits would also be urged to take up the issue, he told reporters here.
The islet has a church where devotees from both Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu offer prayers during the annual festival in February.
Yogeswaran, on a visit here, said compared to the Rajapaksha government the present Sirisena government was better in rehabilitating Tamils and also in treating them. But it should further improve, he added.
