Indian Home Ministry made a blunder sending back former Pakistan Human Rights Minister Ansar Burney upon his arrival at Delhi airport

It was a blunder in diplomacy and for that some one must be expelled from politics. An embarrassed Home Ministry expressed regrets for sending back former Pakistan Human Rights Minister Ansar Burney upon his arrival at Delhi airport on Friday night and said he was always welcome to visit India.

In the two-page clarification, the Ministry took recourse to technicalities by arguing that Burney had been denied entry and not deported by the immigration official ''on account of inadequate documentation''. MHA sources said the former Human Rights Minister of Pakistan was sent back because of a ''look-out notice'' against him. Interestingly, during his visit to India last month, Burney had met Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil and Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon. Burney is currently pleading for clemency to Sarabjit Singh, who is facing death sentence in Pakistan in connection with a bomb blast case. During his visit, he had met the family of Sarabjit Singh in Amritsar.
