On December 25, the Pakistan government had freed 220 Indian fishermen who were in jail for more than a year as goodwill gesture after Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted counterpart Nawaz Sharif on his birthday.
Last March, the Pakistan government had released 87 Indian fishermen who had been languishing in jail in Karachi for the last two-and-half years.
Pakistan and India frequently arrest each others’ fishermen for violating the territorial boundary.
