Bangalore, July 16 (PTI): Wife of Mohammed Haneef, the Indian doctor charged with aiding terror organisations in the failed UK terror plot, today hit out at the Australian Government, accusing it of "harrassing" her husband and "somehow trying to detain him".

Reacting to Australian authorities invoking immigration laws to detain Haneef, shortly after a court granted him bail in connection with the failed UK terror plot, Firdous termed the Government's move as "shocking" and "unfair".

"Whatever the Australian Government has done is completely unfair. I think they are harrassing my husband by doing this," Firdous said.

Firdous said she does not know why the Australian government did so "because my husband is innocent and everone knows that...entire world knows that he is innocent".

If the Australian Government had to cancel his visa, why did they not do it when he was charged on Friday, she asked. "Somehow, they want to detain my husband".

She appealed to the External Affairs Ministry to look into the matter and "somehow get my husband back".

According to her, the charge against Haneef is "baseless" and the Centre has to help as an Indian citizen is getting harrassed by Australian Government.
