Bitta demands inquiry into Pakistani women visit to India

Jaipur, Apr 29 (UNI) Anti Terrorist Front President M S Bitta today reiterated his demand for thorough inquiry into the unauthorised visits by three Pakistani women to Delhi, Ajmer and Nagaur and said he would seek Court's intervention if it was not ordered within a month.

Talking to mediapersons here Mr Bitta said these women having alleged links with Pakistan Intelligence Agency ISI, had visited different places in Delhi, Ajmer and Nagaur in December last year alongwith then Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.

He said this was a serious security lapse on the part of the intelligence and security agencies as these women were having visa only for Jalandhar and Chandigarh while the visits to above other places were unauthorised, acilitated by Captain Singh.'' He said one of the women- Ms Aroosa Alam, reportedly working for a Pakistani newspaper as defence correspondent, and her mother Ms Aklin Akhtar alias Rani General, are believed to have direct links with the ISI. Aroosa had reportedly taken formal training with ISI, he alleged.

Mr Bitta said Captain Singh, his officials and these women had visited Ajmer to pay obeisance at the Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti's Dargah on December 29 last year and had later stayed at a fort resort owned by a member of Rajasthan Council of Ministers between December 29, 2006 and January 2, 2007 as the minister's personal guests.

He said in the company of Capt Singh, these women had also visited several places, where they would have not been allowed otherwise. These visits could have led to leakage of certain secret information, Mr Bitta alleged.

Mr Bitta alleged that one officer of SP rank tried to check passport of these Pakistani nationals at Ajmer. However, he was prevented from doing so by a DIG of the Punjab police.

He said this was a serious issue, as the women were having links with the ISI. Aklin Akhtar alias Rani General was having very intimate relations with former Pakistani dictator General Yahya Khan, he added.

He said he had written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje to institute a thorough inquiry by CBI or other autonomous agency into the entire sequence of events. If his demand was not accepted within a month, he would file a public interest litigation petition before the high court in this regard, he said.
