The Minister of State for Road Transport, Highways and Shipping Pon Radhakrishnan said that the meeting would discuss the issue of releasing Indian fishermen arrested by Sri Lanka, besides their boats held by that country.
Recalling 'useful discussions' between fishermen representatives and Swaraj in August this year, he said she had directed that talks be held with the community members to find a solution to this vexed issue.
Accordingly, a three-member BJP delegation was constituted which met members of fishing villages in Eastern coastal districts of the state, even as he had taken up the matter with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Swaraj, Radhakrishnan said.
