If the Indian government does not immediately release our 119 fishermen imprisoned in Indian jails, we will start a movement for the release of our fishermen and millions of fishermen at Indian High Commission in Islamabad and will stage sit-ins outside the UN offices, FCS Chairman AbdulBerr said while addressing thousands of protesting fishermen. “We have gathered here to show the ugly face of the assassin Narendra Modi to the world, to awaken the conscience of the world powers and to continue the struggle till the release of innocent fishermen from Indian captivity. He said that the Government of Pakistan while demonstrating goodwill released 500 Indian fishermen, who were arrested for violating Pakistani territorial waters, but why weren’t 119 Pakistani fishermen, victims of inhumane torture and inhumane treatment in various Indian jails, were not released. Chairman Abdul Berr said that even during wars, there is an international principle that the more prisoners are released by both warring sides. If the government does not ensure their immediate release, millions of Pakistani fishermen will be released. The guerrillas will stand up and go to Islamabad and use every tactic of protest. Be it human rights organizations or the Indian High Commission and UN offices, protests will be staged at every level to show the ugly face of the assassin Narendra Modi. The Indian government will continue to hold sit-ins and protests till the release of all its fishermen. We will not let them run away from their responsibilities
