ISLAMABAD: The Indian deputy high commissioner Gopal Baglay was on Monday summoned by the Pakistan foreign ministry to lodge a protest over the arrest of 13 Pakistani fishermen on March 15.

According to Pakistan's Fishermen Cooperative Society, the fishermen along with their boat were well within Pakistan territorial waters, at Khajar Creek, when they were captured, a statement released by the foreign office said.

Pakistan has called for the immediate release of its fishermen and return of the boat.

The foreign office conveyed its concern over the incident, which was not only against international law and practices, but also is not in the spirit of the positive steps being taken by the governments of both countries to improve and normalize bilateral relations, it said.

I think both countries shoudl have arrangement to settle this frequent issue of fishermen crossing the unmarked borders.

Both countries must show good will and after proper scrutiny must let the poor fishermen go. There shouldn't be bad blood or friction on things for which mechanism can be developed.
