Australian Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews, who cancelled the work visa of Mohammed Haneef said  on Sunday that he had no regrets about the way he handled the case and insisted that the Indian doctor’s behaviour throughout his nearly four-week detention over the failed UK terror plot had been “suspicious.”

Andrews’ decision to cancel the visa of Mohammed Haneef, who returned home a week ago after terror charges against him were dropped, on character grounds subsequently came under fire.

“I don’t have any personal regrets,” he told a local TV network.

Andrews said the hardest thing was being privy to information which he felt justified his decision — information which could not be publicly released because it was part of an ongoing police investigation.

He aded that he still felt Haneef’s behaviour throughout the ordeal “has been suspicious.”
