Burney appeals for repatriating Pakistani boy from India

KARACHI: The Chairman of Ansar Burney Trust International, Ansar Burney has requested President Mamnnon Hussain, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Adviser Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz and Minister for Interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan to cooperate with his Trust in bringing back a Pakistani boy Ramzan (15) stranded in a shelter home at Bhopal, India, by claiming his custody as Pakistani citizen by birth, without any further delay, says press release on Friday.

Burney said that the boy at the age of 10 was taken by his father to Bangladesh without permission or informing to Ramzan's mother in Karachi and married again to an another lady in Bangladesh. After passing hard time following the marriage of his father in the hands of his father and step mother, Ramzan (10) ran away from home to come back to his mother in Pakistan but unfortunately entered in India through India-Bangladesh border where he was arrested and since 5 years lodged in an Indian shelter home.

Ansar Burney requested to ask the concerned authorities including Pakistan High Commission in Delhi, India to expedite their efforts to claim the custody and repatriation process of the minor boy to be reunited with his separated mother and family, who are waiting for him back in Pakistan.
