It is wrong on the part on Indian Govt. to go head and foot and act in a haste to declare support for legal expenses and epressing concerns about the legal procedures being followed in Australia. With so many conflicting reports trickling in every hour, his innocence must be proved in the court first before we can extend any official support. Perhaps our PM must have lost his balance in spending sleepless nights worrying about India grown specialists in terrorism..If he is proved guilty where you will hang up your face?? There is no second opinion that innocent should be left free..You can not prove it before the trial..

My friend. This is not a simple criminal or civil suit. This involves cross border terrorism based on some hollow principles and blind faith. This will not happen in very family as you are imagining and that too in a family decending from freedom fighters and thinking about national interest first rather than religious/ communal/ regional interets..

Hope Muslims think like what you have done here. Muslims should think about innocent Muslims (if there is any) before committing such crimes.

Its a valid argument, but however I think the Indian govt's action is a message to western nations that it will back its citizens unless they are found guilty. All the Indian govt is asking for is for Haneef to be given a fair trial. Haneef has not been charged even after 11 days in custody & the haste with which the Australian govt acted in putting him detention after cancelling his visa is an act of arrogance, I would say.Think about the Purulia arms-dropping case where British citizen Peter Bleach was convicted in India & even then the British govt was advocating his release. Conviction in our land mean nothing to them. Western govts always have double standards when it comes to third world citizens. I live in Ireland & I know their attitude towards us. So I think the Indian govt's action is appropriate in this context. Sometimes you have to flex your muscles to be counted.

What fair trial? The Indian way! I think Indian Govt is not expecting Austrialians to conduct investigation a-la Monika Bedi way where the Indian investigators even failed to gather proper evidance of forged Passport.

Indian government will back their citizen provided the citizen is a Muslim. The govt will back him even if he is a proven terrorist.
