Whenever there’s VIP visit in Porbandar,Pakistan kidnaps boat

Pakistan’s Marine Security Agency today kidnapped one fishing boat and five fishermen off Gujarat coast. According to primary details available, the kidnapped boat’s name is ‘Nidah’ and it is from Porbandar.

Meanwhile, it has been noticed in last several months that along with the regular kidnaps of Indian fishing boats, the Pakistan Marine Security Agency seems selective about time of carrying out several kidnapping operations.

It seems that Pakistan Marine Security Agency has tendency of kidnapping Gujarat’s fishermen every time when there is some VIP visit scheduled or major national function organized in Porbandar, the coastal town on Gujarat coast.

Last year Pakistan kidnapped Gujarat’s fishing boat when President of India Shrimati Pratibha Devi Patil was visiting Porbandar. Same happened when Rahul Gandhi was visiting Porbandar. Pakistan kidnapped fishing boat even when Navy week was being celebrated. Now this year Pakistan has again kidnapped the boat from Porbandar exactly a day before the 30th January when Gandhi Nirvan Divas functions are scheduled to be held at Porbandar in presence of BJP’s national President Shri Nitin Gadkari, Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Governor Dr. Kamla. Just a day before, Gujarat’s Home Secretary visited Porbandar to dedicate modern C-146 interceptor of Indian Coast Guard and lauded coastal security arrangements on and off Gujarat coast. Is Pakistan selective about the time of kidnapping Gujarat fishermen? Gujarat fishermen need to be more careful before, after and during such VIP visits off Gujarat coast.
