Indian Govt Decides To Release 88 Pakistani Fishermen On The Occasion Of Ramadan

The Indian government has decided to release 88 Pakistani fishermen and hand them over to Pakistan on June 21.

115 Pakistani fishermen are currently held in jails of Gujarat, among which 88 will be released. These 88 fishermen have had their nationality confirmed by Pakistan. The cases against them have been withdrawn on humanitarian grounds.

On 18th June, Pakistan released 113 Indian fishermen. Both the decisions by the two countries have been taken after a telephone conversation between PM Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif.

This compassionate gesture on India’s part on the occasion of Ramadan will hopefully help strengthen the relationship between the two countries.

Keep up the good work government!
