Thanks to the two Non Government organisations which filed a petition in supreme court to release the fishermen.Atleast there are few people who are kind enough to help. :)
Hope it's a positive sign.What I understand is thousands of innocent Indian have been cooling their heels in various jails and prisons of Pakistan.Pakistan needs to follow it up with many more just gestures.
I once again reiterate that Pakistan has to follow it up with many more such positive steps to create a friendly image so that our relationship can improve.Especially dismantling the terror structure and shed its terrorist mindset.
