Pakistan on Wednesday freed 55 Indian fishermen, including 15 teenagers, from a jail in the southern port city of Karachi as a "goodwill gesture" on the occasion of India's Independence Day. The fishermen, most of them from western Indian state of Gujarat, were released from the Malir jail and put on buses for Lahore, from where they will be repatriated via the Wagah land border on Thursday, according to a report of Press Trust of India. "It is a gesture of goodwill from the Pakistan government and we hope India will also reciprocate accordingly," provincial Law Minister Ayaz Soomro told the media at the Malir jail where he saw off the Indian fishermen.
