Terming accusations against herself as baseless, Dr Aafia Siddiqui said she has no relations with Al-Qaida. She said this during a meeting with a four-member delegation of Pakistan senators at an institute of psychological diseases in Texas. It may be recalled that Dr Aafia has been shifted to the institute of psychological diseases for medical checkup on the order of the court.

Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed led the delegation of the Pakistan senators and the meeting lasted two-and-half-an-hour. he has demanded of the U.S. government to immediately release Dr. Aafia Siddique. Talking to a private TV channel, after his meeting with Ms Siddique in Texas, he said that she was completely fit physically and mentally and her morale was high.

He was of the view that the US government needed to release her as they have not proved allegations against her. He said all allegations leveled against her in the past five years are false and concocted. It’s pertinent to mention here that on courts’ order she was referred to the psychological department for check-up.

The Senators’ delegation was led by Mushahid Hussain Syed, they remained with Siddique for two and an half hour, during that meeting she seemed happy and normal and thanked the government of Pakistan and the members of the delegation for visiting her.-SANA
