Ansaar Burni deported from India

so after all that he did for india, releasing convicted terrorists/spies for india, and getting gifts in the form of dead bodies of innocent pak prisoners by india, he still ends up getting deported from India upon his arrival! What a loser!

Re: Ansaar Burni deported from India

So, When Cat stevenson/Yousuf Islam was deported from USA, he became a loser too?

Re: Ansaar Burni deported from India

A good message for Ansaar Barni. He deserved more than that, deportation is small thing for the poddy duffer.

Two very different scenarios my friend. Ansar pretended he was India's friend, Cat didnt, and btw, Ansar was a loser before this saga too. I called him a loser because after doing all that for India, releasing kashmir singh and trying extra hard for other convicted terrorists to be free, he still got shafted. Now tell me how Cat's example holds any relevance to this?

I agree with you completely...I am sure he must have expected a royal treatment with dhol and bhangra welcome :S
This guy made a fool of himself by himself...he though he would instantly become famous and earn respect for doing what he did but serves him right everything back fired...I have a doubt about his abilities as a lawyer... he got tricked by an old spy, who while in Pakistan claimed he had converted to Islam and he was not a spy but said completely the opposite of that when he went back. So much for the hugs and farewell and all that he did for him...instead he could have worked and tried to get the innocent pakistani prisoners in India for no reason freed.

He probably called up the media ppl to show up at the airport to make sure he gets his 2 minutes of fame.

Re: Ansaar Burni deported from India

You can not write off his services just for one lapse.

agreed....

he lost respect in my eyes as well due to what he did and what Pakistan got back...

now that you explained.. your first post was only saying as it is written that because he was deported from india, he's a loser....

btw: that's a slap on Pakistan's govt's face and they should say something regardless because Burni was a caretaker minister... regardless of if we agree with him or not..... right? after all a pakistani is deported who was a minister few months back...

Re: Ansaar Burni deported from India

why was he deported ...... any reason given ?

Re: Ansaar Burni deported from India

I think he prolly got deported because the new Pak Govt must have asked India not to let him talk about prisoner exchange as hes no longer authorized to do so.

Yep, Kashmir played his cards brilliantly to secure his release and wait till he was in Indian soil. I am sure Burni knew all that, but he didnt care, he wanted his limelight.

I don't think ex-ministers get any special treatments, do they? unless he was ex-"Prime Minister" and he was going for some special "official" work.


He can take this is another the compliment. Neither the leaders of India or the current ones in Pakistan want to release innocent prisoners.

Keep up the fight Burney, we are with you always!

but this is actually priceless!! what a slap on the face of this pseudo peace activist cum shoe shiner. The only face saving silver lining he could come up with was this measly line according to Dawn reporting:

the officer at the airport was very happy to meet him LOL

Poor Burni !!!

He is an HR activists. Not one one of those one a day peace activists. He has actually saved thousands of people. Same people against him, are those against Edhi.

A good article on Burni, which I posted earlier. written before he was shamelessly deported from india.

By *Samad Khurram *
Ansar Burney completed his tenure as the first ever caretaker minister of human rights. During his four months stint in the Ministry of Law, Burney worked hard tirelessly for providing a safe passage for suspected and convicted enemies of Pakistan while completely disregarding Pakistanis. He even went a step further by actively trying to dissuade Pakistanis from fighting for their own rights. As this article will show, Burney’s work would make any Indian proud of him and hence he will be referred more appropriately as Burney (Singh).

Burney (Singh)’s personal website boasts that he had refused repeated offers to become a minister or be part of a government citing time and conflict of interest issues. Finally he accepted an offer to become a minister when he thought the time was appropriate - when safeguards of fundamental human rights in Pakistan had been suspended. His oath did not require him to protect Pakistanis from human rights violations. Instead, he could focus on a higher, much nobler objective of releasing state enemies and shamelessly self promoting himself.
We, the people of Pakistan, as naive as we always have been, still thought we could go to Burney (Singh) for help and protection from state oppression. With fellow members of Islamabad Civil Society, I suggested contacting Burney (Singh), asking him for the release the heroes of Pakistan, particularly the Honorable Chief Justice. Older fellow members of the resistance movement against Musharraf’s martial law suggested that such moves would be futile: they argued that if Burney (Singh) really cared for the rights of Pakistanis, he would not have acquiesced to the unconstitutional Nov 3rd actions by becoming a part of the caretaker government.
Nonetheless, we called him. He responded in a half concerned tone, promising good news in a few days. According to him, the CJP was under “protective and preventive custody” and he would be allowed to leave his home very soon. He also promised us to do whatever possible for the swift release of all the political prisoners.
As it later transpired, Mr. Burney (Singh) was a step ahead and had already tried to mediate the release of some judges and lawyers. In his meeting with Aitzaz Ahsan, Burney (Singh) offered a proposal: release from the illegal incarceration if Mr. Ahsan would promise not to fight for the Pakistani people’s demand for the restoration of THE independent judiciary. Other detained lawyers and judges were offered the same terms. The Minster of Human Rights of Pakistan would release these innocent captives ONLY if they gave up their human rights in return!
Burney (Singh) did not stop for a moment to think about the immorality and shamelessness of his act. No where in the history of any country has a human rights minister asked the people under his protection to give up their rights. It is amazing how he can still proclaim to be a champion of human rights after these incidents. Is Burney (Singh) trying to make a fool out of his own self? Perhaps a dictionary and a job in India would have been a good farewell present for him.
Newspapers and independent televisions channels reported police brutality on protesters regularly since Nov 3rd. His own caretaker government was ordering baton charge and tear gas on protestors. Many were arrested and manhandled; some even joined the ‘missing in Pakistan’. Women and children were beaten, mistreated and harassed. Did Burney (Singh) take ONE notice of all of this?

After the lifting of the “state of emergency”, a version of the constitution replaced the PCO. Even this mutilated form of the constitution had basic provisions of human rights. However two days after the lifting of state of emergency, police thrashed members of Student Action Committee, many of them women and juvenile. This was covered in all local and major international newspapers. A letter was sent to Burney (Singh) urging him to take action against police brutality. Pictures of women and children being hammered by police batons were attached. A copy was also sent to Burney (Singh)’s private email incase he did not read the news or letters sent to him. He wasn’t even courteous enough to send a two-lined response to us.

In the following weeks protests heading towards the CJ’s house were always tear gassed and covered in the news. Burney (Singh) never took any notice of the police brutality or what the protesters were demanding. Instead he blatantly slandered the Honorable Chief Justice of Pakistan claiming that Iftikhar Chaudry had illegally occupied the house and there were no bars on his movement! This barefaced perjury is voluble of Burney (Singh)’s credibility.

So what did Burney (Singh) do during his four months as caretaker minister? Surely it must get boring having nothing to do. He continued with his earlier work of trying to arrange for release of Indian prisoners lurking in Pakistani jails. His biggest efforts towards shameless self-promotion were the months and state resources spent trying to locate an item for quick promotion. He soon got it in the form of Kashmir Singh and the media monotone on him the next few days. The hero’s departure given to a former spy who was engaged in anti-Pakistan activities was quite disturbing. Kashmir Singh was first of the many enemies of Pakistan Burney (Singh) is working diligently for. For instance, Burney (Singh) is now involved in preventing the execution of Sarabjit Singh. Sarabjit confessed his involvement in bomb blasts in Pakistan before the Supreme Court in 2005.

The above works of Burney (Singh) would make Shiv Sina proud. One tends to wonder on whose agenda Burney (Singh) and his trust work?

What a BS article Spock! May be the person who wrote it and you yourself should do a little more research on what he did while he was a minister!

Aitzaz Ahsan and his wife were all praise for him throughout! He secured the release of hundreds of children and women; and paid the fines of hundreds of people! He took action on several times against the police and joined protesters against his own government! The guy did so much!

And he had Kashmir Singh released because the guy had already spent 35 years in a death cell!!!!! He had paid for his crime.

But it is obvious to me now that you just have some grudge against him!

Prove what you just said, or stop 'tappifying', otherwise. And yes he did say the CJ was not under house arrest, so I need not do any research, it was all over the papers.

No he did not!

Burney seeks clarification from interior, law ministries regarding former CJP

ISLAMABAD, Mar 5 (APP): Caretaker Minister for Human Rights Ansar Burney Wednesday wrote a letter to the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Law and Justice, seeking an urgent report about the alleged house arrest of the former CJP Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and his family members.

According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Human Rights, the Minister has sought details from both the ministries on whether the ex-CJP is under house arrest and if so under what law and for what reason.

The letter took strong notice of reports that the family members of the former CJP were also under house arrest and requested that the situation be clarified immediately.

Ansar Burney stated that in his interactions with the two ministries, he was informed that the former CJP was not under house arrest and was actually forcefully occupying the residence.

However, Burney stated, he has read media reports and statements from family members to the effect that the ex-CJP and his family are indeed under house arrest and their movement is very restricted, the press release said.

“For the reason, the Ministry of Human Rights has called for written clarification from the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Law and Justice,” it added.

According to the letter, the Minister for Human Rights has stated that once these clarifications have been sent to him, he himself will visit the former CJP at his residence to confirm whether the information is correct.
