ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will launch 200 Indian fishermen and three civilian prisoners on Friday as a humanitarian gesture, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has launched.
Last month, Pakistani authorities launched 198 Indian fishermen who had been arrested after allegedly fishing illegally inside the nation’s waters.
They had been launched from Karachi’s Malir Jail and handed over to India on the Wagah border.
“This is in line with Pakistan’s policy of not politicising humanitarian matters. Compassion should take precedence over politics,” Zardari talked about in a tweet proper now.
The Dawn reported that the third batch of about 100 Indian fishermen is alleged to be launched on July 2.
According to a press launch by Pakistan’s Foreign Affairs Ministry, as part of the 2008 Agreement on Consular Access, there are 705 Indian or believed-to-be Indian nationals inside the nation on January 1, 2023. Of these, 654 are fishermen.
Pakistan and India normally arrest rival fishermen for violating the International Maritime Demarcation Line (IMDL), which is poorly marked at some components and contested between the two nations.
