India shamed over Burney deportation, orders probe

New Delhi: The Home Ministry is red-faced after Pakistani human rights activist and former minister Ansar Burney was refused entry into Delhi and sent back to Dubai from the airport on Friday night.
On Monday, it was said that there was a 'lookout notice' on Burney but the Home Ministry and Foreign Ministry say they don't know why he was sent back.
The Home Ministry has ordered an inquiry into what is now being seen as an embarrassment.
Some reports suggest it could be a mistake and could have been done at the level of the Foreigners Regional Registration office.
Burney was sent back from the Indira Gandhi International Airport by an Emirates flight at around on 8:30 pm on Friday.
