Adnan Sami allowed to stay in India

 Pakistani singer Adnan Sami has been allowed to stay in India for an indefinite period following his appeal to legalise his stay in India on humanitarian grounds. Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday conveyed to the lok Sabha that Sami has been exempted from deportation proceedings under Section 3 of the Foreigners Act.

Home Ministry’s decision came after 46-year-old Sami has submitted a representation on May 26, 2015 requesting his stay in India on humanitarian grounds. “Adnan Sami Khan, son of late Arshad Sami Khan and he is exempted from deportation proceedings. This order shall remain valid untill further orders are issued on the subject,” the Ministry order said.
