Pakistan to release 360 prisoners this month, in a move that its foreign office hopes will be reciprocated by India
Saturday, April 6Pakistan will release 360 Indian prisoners this month, the foreign office said on Friday, as the nuclear-armed neighbours scale back from a confrontation that prompted world powers to urge restraint.
India had asked US officials to investigate Islamabad's use of F-16s, during a skirmish that took place a day after New Delhi's botched air strikes in Balakot area of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, saying it was a breach of the end user agreement between the US and Pakistan.that Pakistan had invited Washington to physically count its F-16 planes after the February 27 incident "as part of an end-user agreement signed when the foreign military sale was finalised.
"India can assume any type of their choice even F-16. Pakistan retains the right to use anything and everything in its legitimate self defence." "The Pakistan army responded effectively. [There are] reports of casualties on the Indian side,” the statement added. The announcement by Pakistan's foreign office comes after India provided Pakistani officials with a dossier containing a list of 90 suspected militants and 22 locations of alleged training camps. Islamabad said the dossier was based on "social media content".
"Similarly, the 22 pin locations shared by India have been examined. No such camps exist." The statement said Pakistan was "willing to allow visits, on request, to these locations" and also sought more information from New Delhi to continue the investigations.A paramilitary soldier in India-administered Kashmir shot dead three of his comrades early on Thursday, officials said, amid fresh violence raged in the restive territory.
Experts say that the factors include stress, long duty hours, denial of leave and domestic issues, prompting authorities to initiate de-stressing initiatives for soldiers such as yoga. "I also briefed the foreign minister on the rapidly deteriorating situation on the Indian side of Kashmir, intensification of human rights violations, especially after Pulwama," he said, referring to where the attack took place.
