Pls show even 1 % of this enthusiasm to help the thousands of Indians languishing in jails in Middle East etc, for no fault of theirs.
Everybody knows the motive behind this 'offer of assistance'. This case has attracted media attention world wide and this is the golden opportunity for UPA to project itself as minority-friendly and make sure they get all those votes in the next election.

Well said Suresh Menon, I don't understand why the Government is not looking after tones of other people in middle East jail, i bet there are many people won't even have access to lawyer or legal assistance. What is the difference between this man and others ,all are human beings. Politician is always after the vote bank never to the real welfare of the people.

The difference is Haneef is Muslim and moreover he is been charged as terrorist and India does not support punishment to terrorist (Afzal guru, Ibrahim Kaskar, Haseena)

The act of assisting Haniff released will prove to be sucidal for UPA. It is not a minority-friendly but terrorist-friendly motion. How the UPA Govt, make request to get Haniff released when they donot have any evidance of his innocenance, especially when they have not investigated the case. In case The UPA has some proof of Haniff's innocance they should come out with it immediately and let whole of India be satisfied of it, otherwise it is the real folishness of them.
