Pakistani mariners freed from somali pirates captivity after paying ransom of 2.1M $

This incredible saga of Pirates of Somalia has been more popular in Pakistan in the past few months than johnny Depp or the Pirates of the Caribbean latest release.The issue was highlighted by a private television channel when it showed a young Pakistani girl's appeal for the release of her father Captain Wasi .Televsion viewers throughout Pakistan and Pakistanis all around the world had tears in their eyes when they saw this young girl on their television screens saying that she wants to sell her kidneys to pay the ransom for her father.The nation was sad and enraged.Usually the ports and shipping in Pakistan is the terrain of the MQM as they hold the ministry in federal cabinet since the days of former President Musharraf.It is believed that they never compromise on this ministry under any circumstance.I personally believed that this drama has something very political if not fishy..to do with the holding on or regaining the ministry.Anyways when we have no proof only the suspicion we in Pakistan usually say "Wallah-o-Alam bis sawab"(only Allah knows best)
