PM Narendra Modi on Sunday cited a report to criticise Congress for giving away Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka in 1974 under ex-PM Indira Gandhi's rule. "Eye-opening and startling," he said. The report based on BJP leader K Annamalai's RTI plea cited first PM Jawaharlal Nehru's comments that he would have no hesitation in giving up claims on the island.
