The release of eight Indian Navy veterans from jail in Qatar is a big diplomatic success for India. All the eight former Navy men were sentenced to death by a Qatar court, but after the Indian government intervened, it was later commuted to imprisonment. On early Monday morning, seven out of the eight ex-Navy men arrived in India, while Commander Purnendu Tiwari is still in Qatar after release. His return was delayed because of some legal formalities which are to be completed. Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra thanked the Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani. Kwatra said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi had personally supervised the developments in this case and he undertook initiative in securing the release of the veterans. from IndiaTV India: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/fKTwx0W
