LONDON, UK—Bibi Pinky Kaur, wife of Bhai Paramjit Singh Pamma has moved a petition in the European Parliament seeking his return from Portugal to UK. The petition has been moved on the ground of mutual recognition of refugee status accepted by European countries as per the “Treaty On The Functioning of European Union” (TFEU).
Pinky Kaur is a Permanent Resident in the United Kingdom.
Talking with Sikh24’s correspondent over phone, Bibi Pinky Kaur informed that the article 227 of TEFU enforces all other countries to recognize status of a refugee granted by one country to an outsider. She added that as per the TEFU regulations, Portugal can’t extradite her husband to India because he is given refugee status by the United Kingdom after thoroughly probing danger to his life in India.
Meanwhile, a British politician named Siôn Simon of the Labour Party has sent a written request to the European Parliament asking its Vice President to intervene in the case of Bhai Pamma to facilitate his deportation to United Kingdom.
A team of senior police officers from Punjab has reached Portugal. It will submit Bhai Pamma’s extradition papers to the Lisbon Court in Portugal on January 26.
