Chandigarh, March 30: Dalbir Kaur, the sister of Sarabjit Singh who is on a death row in a Pakistan prison, today made a vain bid to meet Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani during his stay at a hotel here.
As Gilani along with his entourage entered the Hotel Taj located in the heart of the city, Dalbir Kaur along with Sarabit’s daughter Swapandeep Kaur and some other persons carrying a placard with a photograph of Sarabjit made efforts to have an audience with Gilani.
However, the water tight security arrangements at the hotel and around it prevented Dalbir Kaur from meeting Gilani.
“We can’t allow her to meet Gilani till we get some clearance from the visiting guest side,” a police officer said.
Kaur said she had high hopes that the Pakistan government would pardon her brother as he was a case of mistaken identity.
