Pakistani bids adieu

Dimapur, Nov 13 (MExN): Amin Abdul Ghani is a happy man. He is going back home to Pakistan after staying at the Central Jail, Dimapur for exactly 14 months and 29 days. He was detained as he had lost his passport. A divorcee, he wishes to go back to Karachi and help his family in the business they have established. 

“I also met five Nigerians at the jail,” Amin says in English interspersed with a tint of an American accent. He was in the USA for a period of seven years. Amin will be deported to Karachi along with other Pakistani nationals lodged in various jails of India after a prisoners exchange programme. He will be escorted to Amritsar by SI Jonas Yanthan of the Nagaland Police.

He has a request to the Nagaland Government. He wishes there were better communications services inside jails. Opening a PCO with a fax machine and a computer wouldn’t be a bad idea, he says. He also hopes for a proper medical centre at the premises of the prison. Amin also wants speedier court proceedings. He wishes to come back to Dimapur someday. “Nagaland is a wonderful place,” he says before the passing of his last night in Dimapur after his ordeal.
