Pak will contact Interpol to extradite Bugti
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is to contact Interpol to extradite Baloch leader Brahamdagh Bugti, who is currently seeking political asylum in India.
“The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) will send a formal reference to Interpol within the next few days for the extradition of Brahamdagh Bugti,” Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali said. Nisar’s statement on Friday came a day after India’s Home Ministry said it was examining Bugti’s application for political asylum in India.
Baloch Republican Party (BRP) Chief Bugti visited the Indian consulate in Geneva, Switzerland, to inquire about the process of seeking asylum in India.
Nisar, to a question about India’s offer of citizenship to the rebel Baloch leader, said the offer had made it clear as to who was supporting terrorism.
“It has substantiated the Indian Prime Minister’s statement of interference in Pakistan,” he said, at the headquarters of the National Database Registration Authority.
