Manish Tewari says question on 8 former navy personnel sentenced to death in Qatar disallowed
Wednesday, 6 December 2023 Manish Tewari said it is most unfortunate that the starred question regarding what the government of India was doing to ensure the release of the former naval personnel has been disallowed. The Indian nationals were handed the death sentence by Qatar's Court of First Instance on October 26.
