PM Modi with Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa
As a gesture of goodwill during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the Gulf nation, Bahraini King Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa has issued a royal pardon for 250 Indian prisoners serving sentences in the country, reports PTI.
Modi thanked the king as well as the whole royal family for making the gesture of kindness.
“In a kind and humanitarian gesture, the Government of Bahrain has pardoned 250 Indians serving sentences in Bahrain,” the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) tweeted.
The prime minister’s visit to Bahrain, which is the smallest of all the Gulf monarchies, was the last leg of a three-country official tour which saw him also visiting France and the UAE.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
