Pakistan media ignorance turned Surjeet Singh into Sarabjit Singh, but now the fact has been revealed and its nothing but spelling in Urdu as highlighted by Mumbai’s one of the top news portal DNA, on Thursday 28th June 2012.
But by the time Pakistan government realised the import of what had happened, the Indian media had turned it into the hot news of the day.
The world laughs at Pakistan for an error that turned into sorrow the joy of one Indian family and vice versa.
Surjeet also shone some light on how the misunderstanding must have happened reported DNA.
Apparently, both the names are written almost identically in Urdu. So much so that even in jail, Surjeet used to get Sarabjit’s visitors, and vice versa.
