IA hijacker's name missing from most wanted list given to Pak

Jalandhar: Gajinder Singh, who was involved in the hijacking of an Indian airlines passenger plane to Pakistan in 1981, had figured in the most wanted list of 20 handed over by India to Pakistan in 2002, but his name is missing in the latest most wanted list of 50 terrorists.
After his name was mentioned by the government in the list of 20 most wanted terrorists, following the attack on Parliament, his party Dal Khalsa had written to the MHA demanding Gajinder`s name should be dropped as he had already undergone trial and sentence for 14 years, in Pakistan for the offence.
The Dal Khalsa spokesperson Kanwarpal Singh, when contacted, said: "We did not receive any reply from the MHA and now are surprised to see that this time his name has been dropped from the list of most wanted."
However ,it has never been explained that how his name was included in the earlier list and how his name has been excluded, said Singh.
Interestingly the name of Gajinder, who is reportedly staying in Pakistan, has been retained in the Sikh black list even as the names of other four terrorists in the most wanted list of 50 have been taken off the black list.
