THATTA: Violating Pakistan’s sea boundaries, an Indian Navy ship entered near the Kajhur Creek along the coastal district of Sujawal in the early hours of Sunday and forcibly took away a Pakistani fishing boat along with 11 fishermen.
Residents of Yousif Katiyar village told Dawn that Al Shehbaz boat owned by one Dilbar Katiyar was in the Kajhur Creek when the Indian ship with a heavy contingent of navy personnel on board got hold of it.
The Indian personnel manhandled the fishermen and took them away along with their boat, the villagers said. Three children were among those taken away, they added. The fishermen were identified as 10-year-old Jamil, 12-year-old Abdul Razaque, 13-year-old Mohammad Siddique, Ali Mohammad, Ali Asghar, Abdul Aziz, Abdul Ghafoor, Abu Bakar, Mohammad, Sikandar and Mohammad Murghar.

We take away their boats and the fishermen, they take away our boats and the fishermen. Both claim the boats were in their waters. No one knows the truth in this day and age of GPS and Satellite navigation. Stop this game with the lives of fishermen.

Both countries are in competition to take each others fishermen with assets, so that can be used for good bargaining tool, and release as good well gesture as wish, just like release "white pigeons" after caving and hindering their freedom as per human wish.

@Alla Bux Being Indian it saddened me, How poor souls creating of One Lord are being made to suffer for Political mileage.Indian and Pakistanis civilians must unite and force these Politicians to stop playing divisive politics with Human Lives.People are suffering,either let them build barriers to stop sea and its marine animals to stay put, Air and its avians to remain in borders or let Human mingle with each other as Lord had planned.
