Re: Relatives of Indian daptives held by Somali pirates thank Pakistan for help
This good news should be celebrated.
Anything that improves relations beteween India/Pak is a good thing.
Pakistanis should be proud but humble at the same time and be mindful not to brag (as that would be in bad taste).
The situation could easliy have been reverse.
So I say, it is great that Pakistanis helped Indians, maybe next time Indians will end up helping Pakistanis somewhere.
Just like they help each other when they live overseas.

Re: Relatives of Indian daptives held by Somali pirates thank Pakistan for help
Bhai like me they will never be out of business, never mind Pirates thier illegal.
Its Privateers I worry about. thats another story.
Good news is that the people of both nations are happy to take steps to close the ties, it's our incompetant leaders, religous biggots and general mafiaoso types that get in the way and basically they are misery merchants.

**ISLAMABAD: **Pakistan has lodged a protest with the Indian government over an Indian navy ship hampering humanitarian mission being conducted by the Pakistan navy on high seas.
In a statement released by the Foreign Office, a protest was lodged through the Indian High Commission in Islamabad on a serious incident on 16 June 2011 in which Indian Navy Ship Godavari not only hampered humanitarian operations being carried out by Pakistan Navy Ship Babur for Merchant Vessel Suez but also undertook dangerous maneuvers, which resulted in the brushing of the sides of INS Godavari and PNS Babur. PNS Babur was escorting and assisting MV Suez which had been released after captivity by Somali pirates.
This incident constitutes a serious violation of international regulations pertaining to safe conduct at high seas and of the India-Pakistan Agreement of 1991 on Advance Notice of Military Exercise Maneuvers and Troops Movements.
The Indian government has been asked to ensure non-recurrence of such incidents.

ISLAMABAD: India’s High Commissioner to Pakistan Sharat Sabharwal was summoned to the Foreign Office on Friday to receive protest over a Gulf of Aden incident involving an Indian warship.
“A protest was lodged with the Indian government through the Indian High Commission in Islamabad on a serious incident on June 16, 2011, in which Indian Navy Ship Godavari not only hampered humanitarian operations being carried out by Pakistan Navy Ship Babur for Merchant Vessel Suez but also undertook dangerous manoeuvres, which resulted in the brushing of the sides of INS Godavari and PNS Babur,” a statement issued by the Foreign Office said.
The incident and the subsequent summoning of the high commissioner, diplomatic observers fear, may adversely affect the atmosphere ahead of the June 23-24 foreign secretaries’ meeting in Islamabad.
The incident happened as PNS Babur was escorting Egyptian vessel MV Suez after it had been threatened again by Somali pirates. The ship had been freed from the pirates on June 13 after a payment of $2.1 million ransom.
The 22-member crew of the ship, captained by a Pakistani, included six Indians and four Pakistanis.
Indian Navy was to escort the ship to the closest safe port of Salalah in Oman for which it had dispatched a frigate, but reports suggest that INS Godavari did not respond to a distress signal from the Egyptian merchant vessel’s captain, who then sought help from Pakistan navy, which immediately dispatched PNS Babur to escort it to Salalah.
Pakistan is a member of the Combined Task Force (CTF) 151, a five-nation US-led naval coalition patrolling the Gulf of Aden. India is not a member of CTF 151
Indian sailors on board the vessel have accused their (Indian) navy of not coming to the vessel’s rescue.
But India has played down the allegation, saying the INS Godavari was busy escorting two other merchant vessels and had coordinated with other navies for providing cover to MV Suez.
As PNS Babar started escorting MV Suez to safety, India sent a warship.
The demarche handed over to Mr Sabharwal said: “This incident constitutes a serious violation of international regulations pertaining to safe conduct at high seas and of the India-Pakistan Agreement of 1991 on Advance Notice of Military Exercise Manoeuvers and troop movements.”
Indian government has been asked to ensure that such incidents were not repeated.

Re: Relatives of Indian daptives held by Somali pirates thank Pakistan for help
Actually we should thank the Indian captives. Indian captives na hotey tu Ansar Burney jahaz kiyouN churata
Re: Relatives of Indian daptives held by Somali pirates thank Pakistan for help
the captives have arrived at Karachi, very touching scene when Laila reunited with her father
Re: Relatives of Indian daptives held by Somali pirates thank Pakistan for help
I must say that they could have organized the arrival of the freed captives a little more organized and ceremonial.
It would have been more fullfilling if they had let father and daughter approach each other and hug without a lot of people crowding them.
And they should have received the captives one by one and given rose garlands to every one.
I rate the organization of the arrival at the port by the clueless authorities and the media coverage as poor.
