The leading Pakistani Human Rights activist who was “deported’ on Friday to Dubai from the New Delhi airport has on Saturday expressed deep shock over the entire episode. For Ansar Burney, who has been an ace campaigner for the release of Indian death row prisoners Kashmir Singh & Sarabjit Singh in Pakistan, it came indeed as rude shock.

Ansar Burney said, “I really do not know what’s happening, they did not let me talk to anyone & asked me to go back by the same plane”. Mr Burney, who was the Human Rights Minister in the interim government in Pakistan, was deported back from the Indira Gandhi International Airport by an Emirates Airways flight at around 8.30 pm because of a “look-out” notice against him on Friday.
