Is it right for the PM and Ministry of External Affairs to plead for the restoration of Haneef's visa? Really can't find government's proactive role therein. Ofcourse government (through Indian High Commission in Australia, not by PM directly) has to assist him while there is any procedural difficulties Haneef would face in getting Australian visa while staying in Australia. But when he is back in India, Indian government should not be party in Haneef's visa application. PM's extraordinary sympathy for Haneef is good and praiseworthy, if this is sustained and extended for all other citizens. Unfortunately this is not the case.
