"Pakistan should release all the 631 fishermen instead of 100 fishermen from their custody," Modi told PTI here.

"I have written a couple of letters to home minister P Chidambaram on addressing the issue related to the fishermen languishing in Pakistani jails for the past couple of years," he added.

Pakistan has ordered the release of 100 Indian fishermen as a humanitarian gesture. The fishermen will leave for India tomorrow via the Wagah land border.
