"Qatar's Release of Indian Navy Veterans: A Promise Fulfilled"

The wife of a Navy veteran freed by Qatar praised External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar for promising to bring them back to India and commended the Narendra Modi government for keeping its word. India secured the release of eight jailed former Navy personnel, with seven of them returning home after being handed death sentences by a Qatari court, subsequently commuted to varying jail terms. The government's efforts, including personal intervention by PM Modi, were credited for achieving this diplomatic breakthrough, with one individual still awaiting return due to pending paperwork.
