July 23, 2008:Chief Minister M Karunanidhi on Tuesday wanted to know the efforts undertaken by AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa to reclaim Katchatheevu during her tenure as Chief Minister from 1991 to 1996 and from 2001 to 2006.

In a statement, the Chief Minister recalled that in her 1991 Independence Day address Jayalalithaa had vowed to get back Katchatheevu from Sri Lanka.

‘She was in power for five years after she made the statement in 1991. She had been Chief Minister for another five years from 2001. Has she retrieved Katchatheevu?’ asked the Chief Minister.
