Summary India spy’s sister Dalbir Kaur has returned to India after meeting death row prisoner at a hospital.
Sarabjit Singh s sister Dalbir Kaur, who returned to India today after meeting the Indian death row prisoner at a hospital in Pakistan, has once again slammed the Indian government for allegedly failing to bring her brother back from Lahore. "I am very disappointed with the government because it could not take firm steps to help him," she said, an hour and a half after she crossed the Wagah border along with Sarabjit s wife and daughters.
Ms Kaur, who had campaigned hard to get Sarabjit freed, also said she wanted the PM to resign because "he could not save Sarabjit. I am ashamed of him and his government."
Sarabjit, 49, was admitted to Lahore s Jinnah Hospital on Friday after he was brutally attacked by other prisoners at the Kot Lakhpat Jail. He continues to be in coma and on ventilator.
Ms Kaur said she wants him to be sent to the US for better treatment. "He is at times moving his eyes and arms. I want him to get better," she said.
Dalbir Kaur also reiterated that she suspects that the attack on her brother was planned. "His attackers closed the cell and beat him for so long. He shouted for help but no one came forward," she added.
Ms Kaur reportedly plans to go back to Pakistan later today or tomorrow to be by her brother s side.
Doctors attending to Sarabjit had said yesterday that his condition had deteriorated further. They however denied reports that he was brain dead.
India has appealed to Pakistan to release Sarabjit and let him return home.
Sarabjit had been on death row in Pakistan since 1990, when he was convicted for alleged involvement in a string of bomb attacks that killed 14 people in Pakistan s Punjab province. But his family says he is innocent and that he had inadvertently strayed across the border when drunk.
