Burney, an expert adviser and member in the UN Human Rights Council Advisory Committee at Geneva said the denial by Pakistan government, particularly after the interview of Ajmal's father appeared in the Dawn newspaper and Geo TV created doubts internationally against the country's government and about its' involvement in the heinous crime.
He said the involvement of any Pakistani in any crime or terrorism in the country or abroad does not mean that the entire nation at large is involved. However, the role of Interior Ministry will give a bad name to the entire nation.
He said the dirty role of the government proves that some of the Pakistani officials or parties working under their patronage are definitely involved in such the heinous crime in Mumbai.
"Mishandling of the case by the Ministry of Interior doesn't mean that Pakistan or the entire nation is corrupt or terrorist," he said. "Such elements are everywhere even in India – those involved in heinous crime against humanity."
Burney urged the Indian Government to allow him to meet Ajmal Kasab to bring out the truth "as his arrest is also suspicious in so many manners."
