Motion Text

That this House notes that Mr Balbir Singh Bains, a British resident of over 25 years, was arrested in 1999 on a visit to India by the Indian authorities on charges of terrorism which were subsequently proved groundless in court; expresses its deep concern that Mr Bains has yet to be granted a visa to return to his wife and children in Britain; and further welcomes his family's presentation of a 5000 signature petition to the Prime Minister.
