By Prafulla Das

BHUBANESWAR SEPT. 21. The Deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani, today expressed hope that the efforts of the Government and the Central Bureau of Investigation would result in the deportation of the underworld don, Abu Salem, from Portugal.

Talking to presspersons at the Bhubaneswar airport, Mr. Advani said the CBI was making efforts through the Interpol to get Salem deported from Portugal where he had been arrested and remanded for three months. "A team of CBI officials will go to Portugal, and I hope Abu Salem will be brought before the court in time.''

Observing that Portugal was concerned because it does not permit death penalty for any criminal, Mr. Advani said India would assure that country that Salem would get a fair trial here and would not be awarded capital punishment.
