19 Pak fishermen released from jails in Gujarat
Vadodara: Nineteen Pakistani fishermen have been released from jails in Gujarat and will be repatriated soon.
“After the decision of the Union government,they (Pakistani fishermen) were released from different jails in the state and brought to Porbandar from where they left for Wagha–Atari border on Friday,” Director General of Police (DGP) S S Khandwawala said on Sunday.
These fishermen were arrested by the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) when they entered Indian waters at Jakhau in Kutch district bordering with Pakistan about two years ago.
The Gul-e-Sarovar boat in which they were travelling was also seized by the ICG. The release of the Pakistani fishermen assumes significance as Home Minister P Chidambaram is likely to visit Islamabad in the last week of June in connection with ministerial meeting of SAARC countries to be held there.
