Spot the spy pigeon?
This news may bring a smile on your face too that a ”Pakistani” pigeon is held by Indian Police on suspision of spying for Pakistan. Indians better start issuing visas to pigeons, goats, cows and crows! It requires very high level of intelligence to catch a bird spy which is seen in Indians only. The funniest part is that the bird is not allowed to have any visitors but in this hot weather it can enjoy Indian hospitability in an aircontioned room.
ISI should take this idea seriously and start recruiting pigeons. One day they may have a Pigeon Army!!!
Dawn says…NEW DELHI: Indian police are holding a pigeon under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged spying mission for arch rivals and neighbours Pakistan, media reported on Friday.
The white-coloured bird was found by a local resident in India’s Punjab state, which borders Pakistan, and taken to a police station 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the capital Amritsar.
The pigeon had a ring around its foot and a Pakistani phone number and address stamped on its body in red ink.
Police officer Ramdas Jagjit Singh Chahal told the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency that they suspected the pigeon may have landed on Indian soil from Pakistan with a message, although no trace of a note has been found.
Officials have directed that no-one should be allowed to visit the pigeon, which police say may have been on a “special mission of spying”.
The bird has been medically examined and was being kept in an air-conditioned room under police guard.
Senior officers have asked to be kept updated on the situation three times a day, PTI said.
Chahal said local pigeon fanciers in the sensitive border area had told police that Pakistani pigeons were easily identifiable as they look different from Indian ones, according to the Indian Express newspaper.— AFP
What’s wrong in taking doubt by Indian police on this pigeon as No one can take garunty of the Nation Pakistan.
