Some Pakistani prisoners in Indian jails don't want to return home
The report had been compiled and then submitted to the Indian Supreme Court which had asked the ministry to explain why deportation of Pakistanis was not expedited.
The report noted that 262 foreign prisoners were languishing in Indian prisons, 238 of them with deportation orders.
Of the prisoners, 53, Pakistani nationals including women and children, were demanding political asylum in India. They requested that they be treated as refugees after claiming they were "Mehdis".
The bench said, "In these matters, we have to be concerned about human rights. Technicalities must not come in the way of violation of these rights." However, it clarified, "We find most times the facts (given by petitioner) are unverified."

53 so called Pakistanis are the ones who have been lured for a very good future in India provided they cooperated with RAW to work against Pakistan.
@antanu: it's people like you who sit on wagah border one leg on each side,pretending to be an indian whenever it suits them "moral responsibility to help Indians who are targetted in fake terror cases?" ah,just like you given shelter to homeless boys all over the world, for starters OBL,Dawood,aljawahiri that's one heck of a list, keep them as long as you wanted after all those are the drivers of growth in Pakistan
So now even India is a destination for so called asylum seekers from Pakistan !!!!!
@Diogenes: They are not Ahmedis -- they are followers of Mehdi (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MessiahFoundationInternational). They're claiming persecution due to conversion from Islam and hence need asylum.
@Ch Allah Daad:
No, they have company of Lollywood stars acting and singing in India.

May be they kept up to the news of their country in the prison. They must have thought "Ah screw it, I am better off here".
It is India's moral responsibility to save the oppressed people in Pakistan !
wise choice ! living in india jail is lot safer than living in pakistan freely....
Indian Govt. has already spent almost more the 50 crore INR on Kasab only. If they are getting such a guest friendly atmoshphere in Indian Jails, why they would like to return ?
thanks, but NO
What? they have company of Bollywood girls...
@Diogenes: There are no 'Ahmadis' in Indian jails.....Anywaz 'Mehdis' is still a new term i have heard.....
Mehdis or Ahmedis? Spellcheck?
