Re: rescue from the somalians pirates

There is already a thread in PA about this.
media has become a politics tool in both the countries.
does pakistani media highlight that last month indian marines rescued 6 pakistanis from somali pirates and those people are still in mumbai awaiting a response from their govt.
also two weeks ago an indian paid diyat of few pakistanis and rescued them from gallows in UAE. does it get any highlight in pakistan.

sadly when people of both the countries work together then govts pay no heed.

PS. I for one dont care if our govt paid the ransom or not. we need to make a “no negotiations” with policy like america but do stuff behind the scenes. If we pay them ransom today then they will demand for it tomorrow. already we have about 100 somali pirates captured and our navy patrols the somali waters. they have rescued many ships so far. we need to deal with them with iron hands.

i think u are talking about these guys who when freed went to Amirtsar and last i checked, Amirtsar was still in India…

                            AMRITSAR, India (AFP) – Three Indian men sentenced to  death in the United Arab Emirates for murder returned home on Tuesday  after a businessman paid "blood money" to save their lives.

              The prisoners were freed in Sharjah after Dubai-based Indian businessman  S.P. Singh Oberoi paid 1.8 million rupees ($40,000) as compensation to  relatives of an Indian who was killed by the three men in October 2008.

              Kashmiri Lal, Trilochan Singh and Pradeep Kumar, sentenced to death in  2009, told reporters in the northern Indian city of Amritsar that they  were innocent and had been forced to sign documents they could not read.

              "I paid the blood money to save these men," Oberoi told AFP at Amritsar  airport where the men were welcomed home by their families.

              The men claimed they had been tortured while in custody.
