Hidden Facts of Kerala Fishermen's killing Case

The facts surrounding the wanton killing by Italian snipers abroad on Italian Tanker ship of two innocent Kerala fishermen requires firm action by the Government of India especially in view of the fact that the UPA Chairperson Ms.Sonia Gandhi is of Italian origin and is actively seeking to meddle in this case through the PMO’s Mr. Pullok Chatterjee, currently Secretary to the Prime Minister.
I therefore demand that the Government of India take a firm line with the Italian Government on the question of diplomatic immunity now that the Italian Government has made that absurd claim. Wanton murder does not entitle any country diplomatic immunity at the investigation and charge sheeting stage.
This is the occasion when the Prime Minister must assert the true sovereignty of the nation especially because the firing took place just 11 kilometers of the coast of Kerala on eleven fishermen in a small fishing boat, nine of whom were visibly asleep. It has to be determined whether the Italian snipers who killed two of the innocent fishermen were at that time drunk and treating the poor fishermen as target practice for that firing. We should no more allow repeat of what happened in Purulia arms drop case when the Government abjectly surrendered to the British Government. Modern India is not mentally any more a captive of the Whites of Europe. It is time such firm signal was sent to Europe.


It is surprising that Vatican has decided to intervene with the Indian Government to obtain the release of the two officers of the Italian Navy who were aboard the so-called Italian tanker and murder suspects in killing of two fishermen off the Kerala coast. These two officers are presently in custody in the guest house of the CISF Commandant, dining on wine and Italian food from a nearby five star hotel. They are in custody because they wantonly, recklessly and unprovoked fired on unarmed fishermen on the spurious plea that they were frightened that the fishermen may be pirates, thereby causing loss of life and great agony, pain and distress to the deceased fishermen’s families.


However, where is the need for the Vatican to interfere in the internal affairs of Indian judiciary system? There is not even a fig leaf of a religious question because the fishermen who were killed were also Christians.


Hence I demand that the Government of India inform the Vatican to mind its own business. But if they still insist on interference, to snap diplomatic relations with the Vatican and close down their Embassy in Delhi.
