Burney donates blood for Mumbai victims of Pak-based LeT

Sumir Kaul

Mumbai, Dec 1 (PTI) They came in a boat and rained the
city with death while another flew in specially to donate
blood for the victims of terror attacks in Mumbai. Both are
from Pakistan.

This is the tale of 10 suspected Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT)
militants and Pakistani human rights activist Ansar Burney,
who has been instrumental in the release of Kashmir Singh, an
Indian national, besides some others from Pakistani jails.

Pakistan's former Federal Minister for Human Rights and
Expert Advisor in the UN Human Rights Council at Geneva,
Burney, who arrived in terror struck Mumbai in the wee hours
of Sunday, wasted no time in showing his solidarity with India
in its war against terrorism.

"They are beast of jungles and killers of humanity," was
Burney's instant reaction about the terror carnage in Mumbai
that left 183 dead.

Asked whether he found it ironic that he had come from
the same country from where terror groups had rained death,
Burney, who was leaving for Karachi, told PTI "I do not
consider them from any country. They (militants) got what they
had deserved and now I want their masters also to meet the
same fate...for me India is as much my country as Pakistan
is."

Burney went to Jaslok hospital and donated blood for the
victims of the recent shoot out, an incident that changed the
dimension of terrorism in India.

"We in India and Pakistan are one family and my heart
bleeds for those who have lost their near and dear ones for no
fault of theirs," Burney said.

"For me terrorists have no religion and these beasts of
jungles do not kill any Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Christian and
Jew..they just try and kill humanity," he said.

Burney has earlier alleged that security provided to
him and his family has been withdrawn by the Pakistan
government for espousing the cause of Indian prisoners
languishing in Pakistani jails. PTI SKL
