Re: Indians Reciprocate Release of Kashmir Singh
when did he die?
Re: Indians Reciprocate Release of Kashmir Singh
hey your link is in urdu and I can’t read it. So I googled and found a english article on this. The ONLY result on this was from a suspicious site as :
EVen in that story I find following that makes no sense:
-
he was a poor bus conductor but decided to go to India to watch a cricket match?
-
he lost his passport and was walking to Pakistani Embassy! I thought the embassy was in New Delhi!
-
He wrote his family a letter but they came to know where he was only after a year? So what did they do for a whole year?
This seems either a very badly reported story or fabrication
Re: Indians Reciprocate Release of Kashmir Singh
^ It is not fabrication but true, Saw it on a few channels yesterday. He died of torture while in custody.
Re: Indians Reciprocate Release of Kashmir Singh
^ I was talking about his being a poor bus driver, the walking to embassy etc that are somewhat inconsistent
Re: Indians Reciprocate Release of Kashmir Singh
He was from an extremely poor family...and decided to go watch a cricket match in india! His family that lives in a mudhouse even had the money to visit him in india. Yup, he was a completely innocent man. Then, they managed to find and burn an Indian flag, a flag which is impossible to find in pakistan!
Im Pakistani and this has our intelligence agencies written all over it!

Ansar Burney has helped countless Pakistanis! He has helped release and bring hundreds of Pakistanis from abroad. The guy sends one Indian back to his country (for very good reasons) and the whole country is up in flames.
We really do not know how to appreciate our own people.
Re: Indians Reciprocate Release of Kashmir Singh
^What right he had to spend the national exchequer on an indian spy, getting him in 5 star hotels and taking him around in official mercedes. Where was he to receive the body of an innocent man.
And i am disgusted that on your "assumption" that this guy was an intelligence man, its okay for him to be tortured to death in India, while its good that a convicted Indian spy be released.
Re: Indians Reciprocate Release of Kashmir Singh
What can you expect from barbarians? BTW, I wonder where is Ansar Burni and his human rights bs? Oh wait he must busy getting more Indian terrorists and spies out of jails in Pakistan.

It doesn’t look fake to me. Dawn, reports are very objective.
Re: Indians Reciprocate Release of Kashmir Singh
^What right he had to spend the national exchequer on an indian spy, getting him in 5 star hotels and taking him around in official mercedes. Where was he to receive the body of an innocent man.
Bro the hotel was free, they reported it on one of the channels that Awari or someone had given it to them for free. And he was not driven in a Mercedes, he was driven in a private car (not government) - a landcruiser i think. Burney has not wasted tax payers money - the guy has even spent his entire salary as a minister on paying for the release of Pakistani prisoners!
I remember I watched a programme on TV 1 I think... where he spoke of the pakistani people he has released with his own salary... one man had completed his sentence over 8 years ago but stayed in prison for extra 8 years cos he couldnt afford to pay 70,000 rupees fine! Burney paid it and others with his own salary.
Why do you think people like me are standing up for him? because we have been seeing the work he has been doing for so many years. He always gets released prisoners and takes them to their homes. He is also the man who arranged for the return of Khalids body to pakistan...listen to what khalids own family said about burney that they wouldnt have ever gotten the body had it not been for Burney.

No its not! But look how much it hurts us what they did to one of our, but where is that humanity when we keep an Indian locked up in a special cell for 35 years!? Was he not human!?
GOP has said again and again that release of Kashmir Singh was a humanitarian gesture! We knew he was a spy, but released him because he served 3 sentences in a death cell which is far worse than normal prison life. He paid for his crime.
If India is wrong, should we be wrong too? If they worship idols, should we do the same? If they drink their own urine, should we do the same!? Do we not have sense? Or should we do everything india does?
Re: Indians Reciprocate Release of Kashmir Singh
You people are ignorant! Did any of you know Burney before the Kashmir Singh story? Or know what he does? The guy has done sooooo much for Pakistanis, PLEASE give him some respect!
Here are just a few of the things he has done:
40,000 illegal Pakistani workers deported from Oman in past two years
19 smuggled Pak kids head home
60 Pakistani slaves return from Sudan
Six Pakistanis and one Indian were gunned down to impress america
India releases 43 Pakistani prisoners
1987: 35 years in prison without a crime
1985: 37 years of asylum life for seeking police help
1988: Mother raped in prison, son is born and raised there and released after 40 years
Deaf and Dumb lady prisoner saw free world after 55 years
Pakistanis released from Tanzanian slave labour arrive home
I hope this opens all your eyes to who Burney is and what he does for Pakistanis!

Mother raped in prison, son is born and raised there and released after 40 years
*Lahore; 20th February 1988
http://www.ansarburney.org/news/n_pics/n6_pic2.jpg
LAHORE – Believe it or not; an innocent man Mohammed Akhtar, 40, who was born within the high walls of Prison, released today and seen free world after 40 long years. He was released only because of the hectic efforts of Ansar Burney, Advocate.
Since his birth in the prison, Akhtar was unaware of any freedom. Akhtar spent his 40 long precious years including his childhood within the high walls. He took his free breath in the free atmosphere after his birth of fourty long years. His release came fruitful only because of Mr Ansar Burney.
According to details a young woman was arrested by the police and sent to the Jail in 1946. During custody innocent lady was raped. Unfortunate lady gave a birth to a son in 1948. Someone cynically christened the boy Mohammed Akhtar.
No one wanted to claim Akhtar for his own. During custody his mother died when he was only five or six.
When Mr Ansar Burney got the release of Akhtar and took him out in a free atmosphere, the boy was unable to cross the Road. Mr Ansar Burney took the finger of Akhtar in his hand and crossed the road.
Akhtar after came out from the high walls, was looking every thing as he was born today.
Mr Ansar Burney, who was instrumental, is hoping other innocents who are behind the bars on crime they had never committed. Mr Ansar Burney has become an ‘Angel’ for the innocents in Pakistan.
After getting the release of a man who was born in the Prison because of rape to his mother, Ansar Burney has left for Karachi along with Akhtar.
At last the great efforts of Mr Ansar Burney, Advocate has become fruitful as Akhtar got released after fourty long years, after of his birth.
Ansar Burney who is become a hope of justice for innocents, said I want to know from the Government that who will return the long 40 years of Akhtar including his childhood to him? Who is going to do justice with the soul of an innocent mother of Akhtar who died after giving birth to her son? He said the government should do justice in the matter

An innocent Meher Din spent 31 years in Prison without any crime, never produced in any court of law;
Will the Real Mehar Din Please Stand up !
Daily Dawn; Friday, May 15, 1987
By Mohammad Ali Siddiqi
http://www.ansarburney.org/news/n_pics/n5_pic1.jpg
KARACHI, May 14: He was a burly young man – barely 20 – when the Lahore police picked him up on a murder charge that never was proved. He came out of the Karachi Central Jail this week — a man of 40 broken in mind, spirit and body.
His only fault was he bore a name that was also the name of a murderer in a case that had nothing to do with Meher Din.
“Are you Meher Din?” the Lahore Police asked him in 1966.
“Yes”, he replied.
“Where do you live?”
“In Badami Bagh”, he answered.
“Is not your father’s name Imam Din?”
“No my father’s name is Yameen”.
“You are not Meher Din son of Imam Dinwho has committed a murder?”
“No, I am Meher Din, son of Yameen, and I have killed NO one.”
“Well”, replied the police man, “you come with us anyway.”
Meher Din and his brother Yasin were arrested for murder and tried – but acquitted. Nevertheless, they passed four agonising years in Jail, for no fault of theirs, except that the police insisted there was little difference between Meher Din son of Imam Din and Meher Din son of Yameen.
This was, however, not to be the end of our Meher Din’s miseries. Four years later, the Karachi police told Lahore police they were looking for some Meher Din son of Imam Din in yet another murder case. The Lahore police said they had one, and promptly sent Meher Din son of Yameen to the Karachi Police, which locked him up in the Central Jail, which was to be his home for the next 17 years.
Years of confinement, hard labour, poor food and regular beatings, despite his innocence, gradually turned what once was the Pakistan Railway’s conscientious interlocking cleaner into a physically broken middle-aged man who wondered what fate had in store for him.
For years he had no news of his brother and of his sister, Sardaran, in Lahore, not to speak of the little sisters he had left behind long ago in Saharanpur and Malir Kothla in India.
Because of his arrest, the Railway asked him to vacate the Railways home he was occupying, and he often wondered on which Lahore sidewalk his family was passing its life.
Finally, as incarceration and beatings continued, with a court trial nowhere in sight, Meher Din cracked up in 1977 and was transferred to the Psychiatric Ward known to the prisoners as “Charya Ward”.
Ansar Burney, who has been crusading for years for improving conditions in Jails, said “When it comes to beating, there is only a marginal difference between Charya Ward inmates and the ‘normal’ prisoners. Both are subjected to torture and beating, the difference being only one of degree.”
Burney wrote to high ups in the Sindh administration when he came to know of Meher Din’s case and finally succeeded in getting him out of Jail when a Court tried and acquitted him on May 09.
“You had to see Meher Din then to realise the difference between what he was then and what he is now. He is now almost cured,” said Burney.
Unlike his face, which gives traces of abnormality, Meher Din’s responses appeared quite normal and the answers to questions did not take long to come.
He is now keen to go to Lahore, and Burney says he would try to find where Meher Din’s family was.
**37 years of asylum life for seeking police help **Daily Dawn; January 22, 1985
http://www.ansarburney.org/news/n_pics/n3_pic1.jpg
KARACHI, Jan 21: Muzaffar Ali Shah, the oldest inmate of Mental Hospital, Lahore, will be freed on Tuesday after 37 years.
The release has been made possible by the Sindh Government undertook to bear his hospital charges (Rs 30,000) at the request of Prisoners Aid Society (Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International) which had also traced him out.
Muzaffar’s nephew, Syed Nisar Hussain, lives in Jehlum but he informed he was unable to secure the custody of his uncle because of financial constraints.
On migration to Pakistan in 1947, Muzaffar had opened a shop at M. A. Jinnah Road. Some time later, his shop was burgled and when he went to file a report, he was arrested under the lunacy act. Records show that he was arrested without any crime And never produced before any court.
The release of Syed Muzaffar Ali Shah became fruitful only because of the efforts of Ansar Burney, Advocate.
The Bureau of Missing and Kidnapped Children/Persons of the Ansar Burney Welfare Trust traced the relatives of Muzaffar Ali Shah.
While talking to newsmen, Muzaffar Shah thanked to Ansar Burney and said that he was of the opinion that he will die and will never go out to take breath in free world, but Mr Ansar Burney make it possible for him.
**Deaf and Dumb lady prisoner saw free world after 55 years: **KARACHI, July 10, 1999
http://www.ansarburney.org/news/n_pics/n10_pic1.jpg
A 70 years old deaf and dumb lady prisoner who was behind bars since 1936, will see the free world after 55 long years after her release only because of Ansar Burney, Advocates hectic efforts.
She was 15 when she was arrested for upsetting the British Viceroy, who sent her to prison. There she was forgotten and lived for 55 years.
The lady prisoner whose name is not known, as she is deaf and dumb, has been ordered to be released by the Sindh Governor, Justice (retd) Fakhruddin G. Ebrahim, on a petition moved by Mr Ansar Burney, Advocate.
Ordering the release of the unknown lady prisoner, who was behind the bars since 1936 on the orders of the then Viceroy during the British regime, the Governor directed the Deputy Commissioner, Hydrabad to immediately hand over the custody of the ill-fated woman to Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International.
Issuing the order on Mr Ansar Burney’s petition, the Governor observed, “This is indeed a very tragic case. It is unthinkable that we have become so callous to human sufferings”.
The Governor ordered for the immediate release and asked Commissioner to hand over the lady to Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International for her rehabilitation.
There are many more!!
