A bad decision..

I understand your anger towards India, but if you see most of the prisoners are fishermen...I have seen the fishermen's life very closely when I was in India, they work so hard and live simple life...these are humanitarian gestures which both sides should continue doing irrespective other side reciprocates or not.

I thank Pakistani authorities for making a decision to release fishermen.

-Peace

No, it a eating into our expenses, it's a smart move. Why should we feed, cloth, and provide a roof over their head? They should be deported and let Indians deal with them.

Your pathetic shithole killed two Pakistani prisoners and we are releasing your prisoners is extremely stupid.

Man, 350 is not huge number and they are not living in first class jails rather in the lowest class which is available for common prisoners.

Good decision. These fishermen are poor people and struggling life for survival. Hope they meet family soon. Poor people have nothing to do with any war.

This is a great gesture by Pakistan. India will surely reciprocate to this goodwill gesture of Pakistan.

Frankly, I have no say but I wish India does reciprocate, I read we have done goodwill releases earlier. Good thing that I came across is, in 2018 India & Pak have signed an agreement through which both countries get regular data from each other about the number of prisoners in their jail.

Its unimaginable to remain locked in another country's jail for years, far away from family...

What we will get in return?

I totally agree with you, but like I said is your country going to the same is the question. And frankly given the recent events after returning your pilot india has done nothing in return rather then talk about war which is not a easy game in this age. Sorry to say but your govt needs to come to its senses and give back a little when given from the other side. Both nations need to end this BS bloodshed it wont get both anywhere while the world laughs at us and makes money from us in arms simply.
