Unbelievable!

This book is an effort initiated by the lawyers of India and Pakistan to work jointly to ensure that the Pakistani prisoners languishing in Indian jails are treated in accordance with the spirit of the Constitution of India. Similarly ensure that Indian prisoners in Pakistan are not denied fair trials. Unbelievable are the facts incidents and illustrations in this small book called ‘Unbelievable’. The invitation from Zulfiqar Ali Jehangir Advocate President of Lawyers Congress Lahore inviting an Indian lawyer to visit Pakistan is unbelievable itself. The galaxy of Supreme Court lawyers of Pakistan coming to receive Prof. Bhim Singh at Wagah border is not believable either. The Supreme Court Bar Association in Lahore presenting a special shield (award) to Prof. Bhim Singh was the rarest of rare token of honour bestowed to an Indian lawyer. The Lawyers Association of Islamabad giving standing ovation to an Indian lawyer was another unbelievable gesture. Friendly encounter with the senior media persons in the Press Clubs of Lahore and Islamabad are the memorable events which laid the foundation to launch a joint movement for the defense of Indian and Pakistani prisoners languishing in the jails of the respective countries for years. It was unbelievable that the agencies in Pakistan refused permission to the Indian lawyer to visit Islamabad in spite of having a valid visa and that the Indian team was called back from Wagah border at the intervention of several leaders of Pakistan and AJK (POK). The entire 10 days’ stay in Pakistan and visit from Lahore to Islamabad is being inked as unbelievable and rightly so.
