Do you support a complete ban on religious organizations?
I am in favour of state banning the Jihadies organizations that are advocating killings on the name of Islam. But I am totally opposed to ban the religious organizations by the state. I want all the religious trends to have a full freedom to advocate their ideas in a democratic and peaceful manner. But I oppose those religious fanatics who are in favour of killings the opposite religious sects and individuals.
Are you hopeful about the outcome of the Indo-Pak peace efforts?
No, I am not hopeful. I think both sides are not interested. I strongly feel so. All this is drama to show off to the international community. Both sides are trying to score points.
I believe if there is a liberal and open visa policy, things will change radically. In early September 2003, a high-powered Indian delegation was to come to Lahore consisting of judges and lawyers. They were denied visas by Pakistan. Similar things have happened in India. Both governments want to divert the attention of the people from the real issues. Let people know themselves the real differences between the two countries.

Nice Interview Henry Ekwuruke | Jul 15th, 2006
Hi Aftab,
You have captured and told the story and I feel like burying my head on the ground, but noticing that my body would be outside I moved into the house and slept. I wish you well
