Sir_Afridi Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 KARACHI: With deadline day approaching and lack of support from the Indian Parliamentarian K.D. Singh, Sindh Governor and the Ansar Burney Trust had to arrange for the remaining ransom amount for the release of not only Pakistani but also Indian hostages. Talking to The Express Tribune, Ansar Burney, chief of the Ansar Burney Trust, hailed the efforts of Governor Sindh Dr Ishrat ul Ibad and other affluent people in raising an additional 500,000 dollars on short notice to make up the Indian share of the payment. They had already transferred 600,000 dollars last week to the Egyptian shipping company’s owner, Abid Elmagaid. Burney said that the total amount will be transferred to the Egyptian company, whose representatives Burney was due to meet on Monday in Cairo. As deadline day approached, Burney said that they had yet to see any concrete measures from the Indian parliamentarian K.D. Singh to transfer the promised amount of half a million dollars. The sum total of $2.1 million, suffered in part by the Egyptian shipping company and Pakistan, would aid the release of four Pakistanis, six Indians, one Sri Lankan and 11 Egyptians. The men had been held hostage aboard their Egyptian vessel since last August. Burney said that the pirates had threatened to start killing off the hostages one by one if the ransom amount was not paid by May 22. Burney says his next moves entails transferring the money to the Egyptian shipping company. He said he would travel to Cairo, and then to Aden, Yemen, to ensure the money is transferred and is used for its intended purposes. He would then ensure that the hostages are recovered, and prepare travel arrangements to bring them home. He said that a special ship for transferring the cash amount was currently being engaged. http://tribune.com.pk/story/173291/ransom-money-as-india-backs-out-pakistan-moves-to-plug-the-gap/ :yay: A friend in need is a friend indeed :two_thumbs_up:
jonas10 Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Hey genius, India has already paid the ransom. The difference is the Indian navy has captured pirates and they are refusing to let them go and this is the stalemate with the Somalians. Do you really think Pakistan could pay for something the Indian's couldnt afford? :cantstop: Once again India extends the olive branch to Pakistan.

Rajiv Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 We keep Sir_Afridi for comical purpose so whatever he posts..please play along.
achilles Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Sir Afridi, please don't retire from posting now, like your idol. We really love you
someone Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Honestly, this is really interesting. 2 sources and totally different news, maybe that is why there are so much hatred between us because of the misplaced information done by the media themselves purposely or mistakenly?

Someone, people like Sir_Afridi need to use basic logic. How in the world could Pakistan ever afford something if the Indian's couldnt? If they didnt pay (which they did) there is an alternative reason.
donkey Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Pakistanis get corporate discount from pirates, hence eagerness to play middleman for ransoms payments.

I know that but I am just trying to make a simple point on a general that there is so much misplaced/incorrect information which brings/causes the hatred..
