Leading Pakistani rights activist Ansar Burney on Thursday claimed that the parents of Ajmal Amir Kasab, lone terrorist arrested by Indian authorities for the Mumbai attacks, were missing from their home in Faridkot village in Punjab province.

The former human rights minister said a team from the Ansar Burney Trust recently visited Faridkot and found that Kasab's parents were missing from the village.

"Where are the parents of Ajmal Kasab and who took them out from the village? This is another question that would create further doubts," said Burney. He added that the team from his Trust had confirmed that Kasab is a Pakistani national.

After weeks of denial, the Pakistan government on Wednesday acknowledged that a preliminary investigation by its security agencies had established that Kasab is a Pakistani national.

However, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani sacked National Security Advisor Mahmud Ali Durrani for speaking to the domestic and international media on the issue.

Burney said the sacking of Durrani for making a statement regarding Kasab had "created further doubts" about involvement of the Pakistan government and "some Pakistani organisations" in the Mumbai attacks.

"Durrani was sacked because he spoke the truth and admitted that some of the organisations from Pakistan are involved," Burney alleged.

Burney criticised the handling of the situation by the President and Prime Minister. "How is the world going to believe our government any more after they take such steps?" he asked, referring to the sacking of Durrani and the "mishandling" of the issue of Kasab's nationality.

KASAB'S FAMILY MISSING ?By: krishna kumar | 10-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward Sure the ISI must have killed the family members of Kasab , to hide evidence.

TruthBy: Jayadevan | 10-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward A gentleman calls Burney an anti national like Arundhati Roy and says that he helps the cause of India. No doubt it is helping the cause of truth, young man. If that is anti national, so be it. There is a truth higher than a line drawn on the earth by a man. God never created any nations or religions, did he? All this is falsehood and its has created more suffering to mankind - all the wars and atrocities are based upon these false notions of nationality. Even now, after so many years of suffering, man is not able to escape the false notions of nationality and see the people on the other side of the border as humans. Wake up and see the light, instead of repeating the same old words of hate and suspicion. You are Hindu, you Muslim, you Jew, you Black, you White, you are Indian, you Pakistani, you Palestinian, you Israeli..can't you ever say a new thing? A few days back Burney was an enemy for wanting to meet Kasab. He has not changed.. who did?

Our brother Muxlim from Pakistan and India have taken a brave step to defeat communal attack on PakiBy: Shameless Indian Secular Hindu | 09-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward This small incident must be looked in the larger context of victory of Secularism in India. After the minor incident in Mumbai, as our secular Kangrace leaders already said small things happen in big cities, communal forces are trying to spoil the name of our brother muxlims and xtians in India, and their true brothers in Paxitan, and finally attack them. By weakening the secular communities of brother Muxlims and Xtians, they are planning to defeat the great secular Xtian saint Sonia and Priyanka, and other great UPA and Left secular and progressive forces, who lover Muxlims and Xtians like brothers. Secular Muxlim forces in Paxitan have taken this small step to protect Muxlims not only in Paxitan but also their true borthers in India. Most probably, since Kasab family is a true family of secular jihad, they will have gone for Hajj and living in their holy place of Saudi Arabia, and even if they are not on communal Earth, they are surely in the secular kingdom of Zannat.

It is a good thing...By: Natarajan | 09-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward The 26/11 operation by ISI went awry after Kasab's capture. They were planning a repeat of parlaimanet attack, when all the terrorists were killed. Kasab's capture alive has created so many problems for ISI. It is a good thing that Kasab's parents are missing. This will dissuade all future terrorists.
