Gujarat Fisheries Minister Dilip Sanghani today met the 14 fishermen, who were released by the Pakistani government last week after being jailed for straying into the country's maritime territorial waters.
The fishermen met Sanghani in his office in Gandhinagar after their arrival from the Wagah border and apprised him about the treatment meted out to them in the Pakistani jail. "These fishermen told me about quality of meal served to them during their detention in the Pakistani jail.
Each one of them was given only five rotis during a day and a vegetable," Sanghani said. Besides, they were asked to do cleaning and other works, he said.
The 14 fishermen, who were among the 274 detained in Pakistani jails for varying periods, were released on July 28 from the Malir Jail in Karachi after spending nearly 15 months behind bars.
