We all were together in the Dialogue in 2010.: NAFSO was in the fore front in the dialogue.

I was explored some of my previous photographs to refresh my memories of the Fishers to Fishers Dialogue we facilitated in August 2010. NAFSO did the facilitation in collaboration with SIFFS in India. In our journey to Rameshwaram to Nagapattinam, the east coast of India, in Tamil Nadu State, my room mate was Mr. Lal De Silva who was the director, Monitoring Controlling and Surveillance division of the Ministry of Fisheries. I particularly mentioned Mr. Lal De Silva because we had very close dialogue on this issue and to find a solution on the same issue since 2010. Also, I was able to find another photograph which was taken at Chennai, TN, when Mr. Pathirana the then Director General of Fisheries received the fishers to fishers agreement at the third and final day of the dialogue held at Chennai. In fact Dr. Rajitha Senarathne supposed to attend this work on final day although he had sent his Director General of Fisheries on behalf of him to receive the agreement. This is the past and clear fact though Fisheries Minister now saying "Self Appointed Group" visited to India and invited to Indian Fishermen to come to our waters. It was appeared in Daily Mirror news paper last week. But, it is me in the middle of the below photograph in between Mr. Pathirana, DG Fisheries and Mr. Suriyakumaran the chairman of the Northern Province Fisher People's Unity. Also, it is Mr. Lal De Silva, the director of MCS division of the ministry of fisheries is also appear in the second photograph behind Mr. Anthony Jesudasan in the stage. Who is saying lies? All these are clear evidences of the collaboration of Ministry of fisheries, NAFSO, Sri Lanka and SIFFS, South India on the Indian Sri Lanka Fisheries issue. No one can say these are not true. Herman
