Answer : 2. "India and Sri Lanka"
Explanation :
Tamil Nadu BJP chief K. Documents obtained through an RTI application by Annamalai reveal India's inconsistent approach to the Katchatheevu island dispute with Sri Lanka. Katchatheevu, a small island in the Palk Strait, lacks permanent settlement and a source of fresh water. Historically administered by both India and Sri Lanka, a 1974 agreement marked its boundary. Indian fishermen, especially those from Tamil Nadu, face challenges due to conflicting claims to the island.
