Meanwhile the Sikh Federation UK has announced to continue with its campaign to encourage people to contact their respective MPs against suspected extradition of Paramjeet Singh Pamma to India by Portugal authorities.

Earlier reports suggested that Indian authorities had been requesting the Portuguese authorities to grant extradition of Sikh activist Paramjit Singh Pamma in three cases: Rulda Singh murder case (2009), Ambala blast case (2009) and Arya Samaj (Patiala) blast case (2009). But according to legal experts India’s claims for extradition of Paramjit Singh Pamma in these cases were weak as these case have already been acquitted by other alleged accused persons.
