Punjab Food and Civil Supplies Minister Adaish Partap Singh Kairon on Monday pleaded the Pakistan Government to hand over Sarabjit Singh to India for better treatment.
Kairon said that Sarabjit Singh is fighting for life and in this critical period, Pakistani authorities should send Sarabjit Singh to India on the humanitarian ground. “It would strengthen the bilateral ties between the two countries and also give the message of peace,” he added.
Sharing his sympathy with the Sarabjit’s family, Kairon said that it was not possible for anyone to measure the sorrow and pain they have faced during the last two decades.
He also requested the Indian Government to take all possible steps to bring back Sarabjit Singh to India, and also to make sure that he should get proper treatment in India.
He also asked the Pakistan Government to release all the Indian prisoners, who had completed their tenure to give the message of harmony.
Notably, a resolution regarding the release of Sarabjit Singh had already been passed by the Punjab Vidhan Sabha few years back, which was introduced by Kairon.
