In December 2023, "A Qatar court has reduced the death sentence given to eight ex-Indian Navy personnel in an alleged case of espionage, said the Ministry of External Affairs." "The eight men were sentenced to death penalty by the Court of First Instance of Qatar in October." The Emir of Qatar pardons some prisoners during the month of Ramadan and for Qatar's National Day. In 2016, "With Qatar Emir Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani pardoning several prisoners for Ramadan, including 23 Indians, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed his gratitude to the Emir." HT. "Ramadan for the year 2024 starts on the evening of Sunday, March 10, lasting 30 days and ending at sundown on Monday, April 18." Calendar. Absolutely perfect. The general election is to be held in April-May 2024 (wikipedia), and if the Emir can somehow be persuaded to pardon the men in March, a reception at the airport with smiles and hugs would be the most gigantic photo-op just in time for voters to decide. Game, set and match to Mr Modi. Pakistan helped the last time by getting a Kashmiri man to blow up a convoy of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), killing 40 personnel with a suicide car bomb, at Pulwama on 14 February 2019 (wikipedia). India retaliated by bombing an alleged terrorist training camp at Balakot in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan. wikipedia. Mr Modi swept the election that followed. Considering Mr Modi was a full-time worker for the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which is a Hindu organisation, rising to the rank of general secretary (wikipedia), it is strange that Islamic countries like Pakistan and Qatar would help him win elections. Meanwhile, "The American authorities sent back 370 Indians in the past year, revealed figures from ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Between 2018 and 2023, a total of 5,477 Indians were deported from the US to India for illegal entry and stay." TOI. According to the Pew Research Center, "There are around 725,000 Indians currently living illegally in the US and the actual figure is likely to be much higher." TOI. Last month, a plane carrying 303 Indians from Dubai to Nicaragua was grounded by French authorities at Vatry Airport in France on suspicion of human trafficking. HT. 66 of these passengers were from Gujarat. "The Gujarat CID (Crime Investigation Department) had earlier said the passengers, most of whom had studied till Class VIII and XII, had paid Rs 60-80 lakh (Rs 6-8 million) each to enter USA illegally after reaching Nicaragua via Dubai." ET. These are large sums for Indians. This is despite allegations of diverting investment from Maharashtra to Gujarat. "Shiv Sena (UBT faction) leader Sanjay Raut...slammed the central government for focusing only on the development work in Gujarat and said that it is not development but robbery." ET. Ungrateful Gujaratis paying vast sums to escape to the US. Thank God, Islamic nations are helping.
