Dr Haneef Mohammad, who was cleared of terrorism charges by Australia, is happy that the media glare is out of his life. It has been a long journey for Haneef.

Haneef now wants to start working and more importantly return to Australia and take his career forward.

For someone, who is termed by his relatives as a very hard working boy, sitting at home will be quite painful. Haneef says that even after being cleared of terrorism charges, he still wanted to go back to Australia and work there.

The doctor said he had just taken some time off to be with his family, as he had suffered terrible mental trauma.

After his return from Australia, Haneef used to stay at his wife's house, but has now moved to Frazer town locality, where his mother lives. He spends a lot of time chatting with relatives and also his baby girl, whom he had termed as his lucky mascot.

Haneef stated that it was now time for him to return to Australia and commence work. But first he needs to get his visa. The matter is before the court and if the visa is restored then he will be back in Australia.

However, Haneef's family members are a worried lot. They are obviously worried for him. After having faced so much, who would not be worried? "But, we do not want to give the picture that Haneef is hiding, as he has done nothing wrong."

Haneef's relatives said he was relieved when he came back from Australia. But he was under a lot of stress, as his visa had been revoked.

Haneef's relatives too feel that he must now start working. When questioned as to why he had not taken up the job offered by the Karnataka chief minister, a relative said, "Haneef had more opportunities in Australia. He put in a lot of hard work to reach there. Why should he give it up for no fault of his?"

For Haneef, the battle was only half won when he was cleared of terrorism charges. However, he feels he can win the rest of the battle only on returning to Australia.
