**Direct Sharif to pay 7.86 mn pounds: Peti
tion in Lahore HC**
Lahore: A petition has been filed in a Pakistani court asking it to direct PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif to pay 7.86 million pounds for extraditing Mir Aimal Kansi to America during his tenure as prime minister.
The petition filed in the Lahore High Court yesterday also asked the court to direct authorities to register a case against Sharif for extraditing Kansi.
It said Sharif should be directed to pay 7.86 million pounds as damages and the amount should be spent on welfare projects.
Kansi, a Pakistani living in the US, killed two CIA agents and injured others during an attack outside the American spy agency’s headquarters in 1993. He was captured by Pakistani authorities in 1997 and sent to the US, where he was executed in 2002.
Acting on the petition, the High Court asked the Advocate General of Punjab province to file his response.
The petition, filed by Pir Ally Immrawn Saher Essraphel through lawyer Javed Iqbal Jaffrey, also sought the status of national hero for Kansi and his reburial with national honour.
The petitioner said Sharif should be directed to pay damages because Kansi was extradited to the US during his tenure as Prime Minister. He said this money should be spent on a modern art museum, a free hospital and a free university for human rights.
The petitioner said Kansi was “an innocent man” because he did not kill any CIA agent and that he was extradited to the US on the basis of “mere allegations”.
He asked the court to declare Kansi’s extradition illegal and to tell the government to rebury him with official honours.
Essraphel also said action should be taken against Sharif and others involved in Kansi’s extradition under anti-terrorism laws.
