'More extradition pacts in the offing'

On board IAF Jan. 26. After France, India is likely to sign extradition treaties with some more countries, including Bahrain, the Deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani, said.

In an informal chat with reporters on board the IAF Raj Hans while returning from a five-day visit to Qatar and France during which he signed an extradition treaty with France, Mr. Advani said there were many more countries in the pipeline for inking the pact.

``These include Bahrain also,'' he said.

Earlier, during a brief stopover in Bahrain on his way back to India from Paris on Saturday, Mr. Advani told the Gulf Daily News in Manama that the issue would be discussed with the Labour Ministry and ways devised to plug loopholes in the recruitment rules by strengthening the monitoring of recruiting companies.

``We shall try to review the whole system in coordination with our Indian missions in the Gulf to ensure that the system of recruitment of workers who seek jobs abroad, especially in the Gulf, was not abused.'' — UNI
