Submitting a written reply in the National Assembly, we get to know about those people when their traveling documents are needed. The Pakistanis themselves give up their right to contact the consulate, the minister said. He apprised the assembly that of the 761 prisoners in the Indian jails 698 were civilians, 45 fishermen and 18 missing persons of the defence ministry. In Philippines, there are 4, 39 in African countries and 14 in central Asian countries.
