President Asif Ali Zardari has ordered the immediate release of an Indian fisherman.
Samat Lakshman Bambhaniya has been lodged at a jail in Karachi for over a year now and is suffering from cancer.
His release seems to be a goodwill gesture after an ailing Dr Chishty, 80, got a major reprieve from the Supreme Court on Monday after fighting a protracted legal battle.
The doctor entered Ajmer Jail last January after being sentenced to life imprisonment. The sentencing came after an 18-year-long trial, during which he remained mostly under house arrest.
I didn't know zardari had judicial powers also and he can order the release of prisoners. The difference between what India did was that it was the court who oredered the release of Dr. Chishty. Here the criminal zardri ordered the release.
