Ajmal Kasab kidnapped from Nepal before 2006: lawyer
2008-12-15
RAWALPINDI: A Pakistani lawyer C M Farooque claimed that many people, including Ajmal Kasab, were arrested before 2006 from Kathmandu by the Indian agencies with the help of Nepalese forces.

He said Ajmal Kasab went to the Napalese capital on a business tour. His application regarding his arrest was lying pending in the Nepalese Supreme Court in which a reply was sought from Nepalese forces and Indian High Commission.

While talking to the Geo News, C M Farooque Advocate said the Nepalese forces arrested almost 200 people including Ajmal Kasab before 2006 and his application in this regard was lying pending in the Nepalese Supreme Court in which Nepalese forces and Indian High Commission were made respondents.

The advocate said he wrote letters to Pakistan and Indian governments in this regard. He said that he had also addressed a press conference in Nepal highlighting the issue in which he revealed that the Nepalese forces arrested Ajmal Kasab and many others and held them at an unknown place and that these people would be used for their ulterior designs at some later stage. He said that he had no contact with Ajmal Kasab ever since he disappeared.

The lawyer said he was still pleading the case of Kasab and was to visit Nepal towards the end of this month. The Nepalese Supreme Court had repeatedly issued notices to the respondents to furnish their reply but they did not submit any reply.

Advocate Farooque said he had filed the petition in the Nepalese Supreme Court in February 2008. He said he was running an NGO, ‘Voice of Human and Prisoners Rights’ and the parents of Ajmal Kasab contacted him for help in this regard after appealing to the Pakistan Government for help.

The people arrested in Nepal had gone there on legal visa for business but Indian agencies were in the habit of capturing Pakistanis from Nepal and afterwards implicated them in the Mumbai-like incidents to malign Pakistan.

#3  That may all be true Dr. Steve, but Mr. Farooque, esq. of Pakistan and quite probably of the propaganda arm of the ISI will look at your translation and say, "So what? He is a pure citizen of the Land of the Pure, and therefore innocent. Besides, everything he told Mukkarjee, Chaudhary, and the #7 truncheons were lying lies from a liar, and therefore are not true. Also, the kufr Hindoos make things up, so why believe them instead of a Muslim lawyer."

#2  Pshaw. I'm from Chicago, I can read that. Translation --

"Sleeper agents from the L-e-T and the ISI (but we repeat ourselves) had gone to Nepal on various pretexts so as to set up safe houses, stockpile ammo, and infiltrate India from the northern border. However, they weren't nearly as clever as they thought they were and so were pinched by Indian counter-intel agents. Soon extradited secretly to India, they met up with Mukkarjee and Chaudhary, and more importantly with the number 7 truncheons both were carrying, in an unmarked dungeon in an undisclosed location. So encouraged, they spilled their guts first literally and then figuratively. Having been wrung out like cheap tubes of toothpaste, they've been disposed of and certainly won't be seen in Nepal."

How's that?

#1  I think the concluding sentence pretty much sums up the logic and tradition buttressing the "rule of law", in all its glory, in Pakistan.

The people arrested in Nepal had gone there on legal visa for business but Indian agencies were in the habit of capturing Pakistanis from Nepal and afterwards implicated them in the Mumbai-like incidents to malign Pakistan.

What does that mean? Go ahead and try.
