Did Congress make a blunder by handing over Kachchatheevu Island?

Katchatheevu Island located off the coast of Tamil Nadu between India and Sri Lanka has triggered a political faceoff ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. The Island was ceded to Sri Lanka by the Indira Gandhi government back in 1974. 50 years later, an RTI answer has brought the issue back to attention.
