Imran Khan is all set to begin his maiden innings as the Pakistan Prime Minister on a positive note, at least as far as Indo-Pak relations are concerned. The PM-elect has decided to release 27 Indian fishermen from Pakistan prisons a day after his swearing-in ceremony, which is on August 11.

A letter exchanged between Pakistani and Indian authorities concerned stated that the fishermen would be released from a Karachi prison and then taken to Lahore on August 12. It states that the time management should be such that they could be taken to the Wagah border by the next morning. The letter also talks about travel and food arrangements for the Indian men after they are released from the respective prisons in Karachi, and then taken to Lahore and the Wagah border. The prisoners who have done time of between 16 and 24 months would enter India by road - from the Wagah border - on August 13, the eve of Pakistan's Independence Day.
