I wouldnt be surprised if Pakistan had a hand in this, after interogating the spy they caught and also were the major part of security at the World Cup.

Qatar while ISraeli is murdering people will not let them go free.

Is Pakistan going to protest against this decision of Qatar?

Yes of course. I'm sure Qatar spies on plenty of countries as well. It wouldn't want it's spies executed when caught either.

The best thing to do when you catch spies from another country is to make a lot of hullaballoo about it and threaten to execute them in order to scare other spies. At the same time, you should be quietly negotiating to win economic or diplomatic concessions targeting to eventually deport them. Of course, if the spies are your own citizens, the story is different and it becomes a case of treason.

It's time honoured practice followed by almost every country and Qatar and India have acted extremely appropriately in the whole affair.

Poor post. If the hullaballoo was to the scare other spies, then why release them? It defeats the very purpose of scaring them. And as if spies don't know what will happen if they are caught. But then this is internet, and anyone can pretend to be keyboard Sun Tzu.

Qatar must confirm what transpired in their decision making that made them release the Indian spies.

Why must they do that? It might be they have squeezed Bharat hard behind the curtains to get a favourable position in order to release the spies. If they haven't then of course India should make it public that they forced the Quataris to back down. Have they done this yet?

Diplomatic conversations are privileged and classified. Neither country will reveal it.

Point is that Pakistanis were wishing how these Indians would be hanged and how Indian government won't be able to do anything.

We see the result. Don't we.

The fact that Modi is hated like crazy by many western and Indian 'left-liberals', and by most Pakistanis only shows that he has been doing a stellar job for India.

Yup ... the proverbial litmus test of any BJP policy/executive decision can be quickly obtained on PP by following the rants and ravings of the usual suspects.

You know its a bullseye hit when there is a proverbial meltdown :ROFLMAO:

Didn't they spy? Spies shouldn't be released this easily.

bro, you are overcompensating.

Understandable though. That what I'd do if I ended as wrong as you are in this particular case
 
India just recently signed a 20 year natural gas deal with Qatar.

And now this.

Were they proven innocent or was Qatar looking out for its financial interests instead of what is right?

was there any information supporting the accusation to begin with?

8 guys from the same country with navy background spying in the same country? sounds like a really really bad bollywood movie plot.

As the saying goes, money talks, BS walks.

I will abstain from commenting on their guilt or lack thereof. Weirder things have happened in history. At the same time it’s not right for me to accuse someone of something without knowing the full story.

But, in general it’s sad as a Muslim to see how easily the Muslim countries are willing to be bought… even those that are absurdly rich already.

you do have to question motif that India which apparently has enough diplomatic/geo economic influence to overturn the verdicts but were incompetent enough to begin with to put 8 personnel with zero spy trade craft to operate in the same country

Not sure why you are shocked.

Zia was the muscle for King of Jordan in dealing with black september

Saudi and Pak closely collaborated with Israel during the Afghan soviet war

Religion has hardly been the cohesive influence that is made out to be. eg. Christians vs christians in NI

Bizarre take isn’t it.

He probably wishes India didn’t take any action in 71

Maybe he supports all the coups between 75 and 87 in BD

It will be fun to see if canada takes a right wing turn starts imitating Trumps action against Muslim immigrants
 
Qatar definitely have a weak evidence against those Indian veteran nevymen.. though Qatar courts awarded death penalty to them on weak evidence… Indian government must have warned Qatar if they challenged it in ICJ, then these navy men would walk Scott free … Indian government must have cited them example of Kulbhushan Jadhav’s case.

Qatar don’t wanted to loose in ICJ, therefore they released

That is what you build your argument around to explain this matter between Qatar and Bharat. The matter is actually about Pakistan which must be a very important regulator in this whole incident. :unsure:

On behalf of Qatar, BD should send fantastic teas to the 8 released officers (straight from Sylhet tea garden).

Jokes aside, do you believe they were not spies?

Will they serve the same tea that was served to yahya Khan and bhutto saab?

Did Tikka Khan get the same tea?

Why will 8 retired Naval officers all end up in the same country to spy?

None of us can say for sure until we have seen the evidence.
There probably was some prima facie suspicion based on which Qatar must have made the arrests, and their court awarded the death sentence. Quite possibly a subsequent investigation, spurred by Indian diplomatic intervention, must have revealed nothing. Hence the release.

Reminds me of when the World Cup final thread gradually saw all Indians disappear when Travis Head was smashing their bowlers. It took a day for someone to come and post how cricket isnt everything in life

this post wil probably go over your head.

guess there is segment of BD population which still holds the candle for west pakoistan\\

BTW, will you be joining the india boycott phenomenon?
 
The Indian prime minister met with Qatari leaders on Wednesday and Thursday, days after Doha released eight Indian nationals charged initially with the death sentence and then long prison terms.

Narendra Modi said his meeting with Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman was “wonderful,” in a social media post. “Our discussions revolved around ways to boost India-Qatar friendship,” he added.

A statement from India said that “the two leaders exchanged views on expanding bilateral cooperation in sectors such as trade, investment, energy, finance, and technology. They also discussed recent regional developments in West Asia and emphasized the importance of upholding peace and stability in the region and beyond.”

Modi attended a formal dinner following the meeting. He was also seen interacting with the Indian diaspora on Wednesday evening.

On Thursday, Modi met with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad, who received the premier with a ceremonial welcome. The duo last met formally on the sidelines of the COP28 climate summit in Dubai in December, where they discussed the “well-being of the Indian community in Qatar.”

India’s External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar and national security adviser Ajit Doval were also present at the meeting.

He is expected to depart Doha on Thursday.

The ex-Indian Navy officers, whose release Modi and his foreign affairs team are thought to have worked in the background for, were allegedly arrested for spying on Qatar for Israel.

The eight men were arrested in 2022 and handed the death sentence, which was commuted to prison terms ranging from three to 25 in 2023, according to various reports. On Monday, the Indian foreign ministry announced that the men would be released after 18 months since their arrest.

Neither Doha nor New Delhi confirmed the charges. The reason for the release was not made public.

Seven of the eight detained Indians have returned to India, one of whom speaking to Indian news agency ANI said: “We have waited almost for 18 months to be back in India. We are extremely grateful to (Modi). It certainly wouldn’t have been possible without his personal intervention.”

“The Government of India welcomes the release of eight Indian nationals working for the Dahra Global company who were detained in Qatar. Seven out of the eight of them have returned to India. We appreciate the decision by the Amir of the State of Qatar to enable the release and home-coming of these nationals,” the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Monday.

Soon after their release, rumors swirled around the possibility of Indian movie star Shah Rukh Khan’s involvement in the diplomatic effort, linked to the Bollywood legend’s visit to Doha days prior. Khan was pictured meeting the Qatari premier and in attendance at the AFC football final.

This claim was promptly refuted by Khan’s manager who said: “Regarding the reports concerning Shah Rukh Khan’s purported role in the release of India’s naval officers from Qatar, the office of Mr. Shah Rukh Khan says that any such assertions of his involvement are unfounded, emphasizing the execution of this successful resolution solely rests with the Indian government officials and unequivocally denies Mr. Khan’s participation in this matter. Additionally, all matters involving diplomacy and statecraft are best executed by our very able leaders. Mr. Khan, like many other Indians, is happy that the naval officers are home safe and wishes them all the best.”

The two countries are long-time allies and India recently signed a multi-billion-dollar deal with Qatar for LNG until 2048.

Ahead of the Wednesday meeting, Modi said in a social media post: “I look forward to meeting HH Sheikh @TamimBinHamad, under whose leadership Qatar is witnessing immense growth.”

Modi traveled to Doha after a packed two-day visit to the UAE where he met with the country’s leaders, inaugurated a stone-built Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi, presented a keynote at an international summit in Dubai, and addressed a large gathering of the Indian diaspora.
