Dalbir Kaur, sister of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh who died in a Lahore hospital this morning after a murderous attack in jail last week, on Thursday lashed out at Pakistan for her brother”s death and called for a war against the country.
Chanting “Pakistan Murdabad”, Kaur said she was appealing to all parties to come together to give Pakistan an ”appropriate answer”.
“I appeal to all political parties to come together and support Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde. Earlier, Pakistan stabbed Vajpayee”s (Atal Bihari Vajpayee) back and today they have stabbed Manmohan Singh. It”s time to wage a war against Pakistan”, she said.
She also alleged that human rights activist Ansar Burney had asked for a huge amount to get Sarabjit back to India.
“Had I paid Rs. 25 crore to Ansar Burney, Sarabjit would have returned to India,” Kaur said.
She also said that her brother had been dead even while he was in hospital in Lahore, and doctors and nurses had laughed at them.
“When we were almost in hysterics and we asked hospital authorities how Sarabjit is, they laughed at us. Nurses, doctors at the Pakistan hospital laughed at us because they knew he was dead. Pakistan murdered him”, she said.
Sarabjit died of cardiac arrest in a Pakistani hospital in the wee hours on Thursday after being comatose for nearly a week following a brutal assault by fellow inmates inside high- security Lahore”s Kot Lakhpat Jail.
Sarabjit was arrested in Pakistan in 1991 and sentenced to death on charges of spying and carrying out four bomb blasts that killed 14 people. (ANI)
