In the last few years, India and Pakistan had devised a strong bilateral mechanism to ensure cooperation and understanding to promote the safety and security of fishermen found straying into each other’s territory.

The Pakistani military has allegedly killed an Indian fisherman on the border near Gujarat. On 17 January, patrollers from the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) rammed an Indian fishing boat and shot at the fishermen killing one of them on the spot: six other fishermen were rescued by the Indian Coast Guard, Wion TV reported. The fishing boat sank about 64 nautical miles southwest of the port of Mitha.

A note verbale was issued to Islamabad on 19 January by India's External Affairs Ministry taking a strong position against what it described as the "unlawful conduct of the PMSA", according to Wion TV's report.


"India condemned in the strongest term such deplorable and unprofessional act by PMSA of firing at a fishing vessel and later ramming and sinking it", India's Ministry of External Affairs said in the note verbale.

The note verbale added that "such acts are in contravention of all international laws, conventions and the established humanitarian norms and practices".

India has also called on Pakistan to "investigate the heinous act and instruct" its forces to "desist from such acts immediately".

There was no immediate response from Pakistani officials.

The incident has pulled the brakes on the efforts being made by the two countries in amicably resolving issues related to fishermen found straying into each other's territory.

According to the lists exchanged on 1 January 2019 as per an India-Pakistan Agreement on Consular Access, Pakistan has acknowledged the custody of 483 fishermen and 54 civilian prisoners who are Indian or believed-to-be Indian in their jails.

India had secured the release of 1,749 Indian prisoners, including 1,725 fishermen along with 57 boats from Pakistan's custody since 2014. This includes 179 Indian prisoners and fishermen who were repatriated from Pakistan in 2018.

The construction of the Kartarpur Corridor is the only visible positive development between India and Pakistan in the recent past. The two South Asian neighbours are going through one of the worst phases of their bilateral relations, owing to accusations and counter-accusations of cross-border terrorism and ceasefire violations.

The maritime resources are also important to guard Indians steal our resources more then what Pakistan does and their boats also have GPS too, but still they deliberately violate the international maritime boundaries Pakistan has even more Indian fishermen in Custody then they have of Pakistan....Now about Civilian, India itself kills our Civilians on LOC in regular basis which Pakistan also protests, recently they have killed scores of people in a wedding gathering ceremony.....In LOC area Pakistan cant target the Muslim civilian population of Occupied Kashmir as we consider them one of us not one of them.

Now we will have to exercise our revenge afterall, the blood of our people is not cheap....So now we will exercise that where we have the advantage like in this maritime area which is also disputed, the sir creek area......Regarding international laws im sure those international laws also apply to Indians too in LOC which they themselves deliberately violate, and since we are the ones who are always at loss in the one sided honoring of those Laws is not acceptable.

We have right to Defend ourselves and our country.......

But im particularly concerned of why Russians have reported it? while they have no history of reporting the LOC civilian deaths or of Kashmiris? What are they trying to prove and show to us?

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. It is a taste of India's own medicine.
