Sarabjit Singh's family shocked at confusion created by Pakistan

     Sarabjit Singh's family has expressed shock at the confusion created by the Pakistan Government after reports emerged that the authorities had decided to release him, but later clarified that they had taken steps to release another Indian prisoner named Surjeet Singh. Sarabjit's sister, Dalbir Kaur, said here today she was hopeful that this stream of happiness would continue to flow and anticipated that her brother would be released shortly. "Everyone was extremely elated, when news broke out that Sarabjit was being released. I am hopeful that this stream of happiness will continue to flow. I am going to go to Harmandar Sahab tomorrow to offer prayers and I am going to pray that God gives strength to the Pakistani Government to hold on to their previous decision. We hope that Sarabjit does not face any kind of trouble," she said. Dalbir Kaur further expressed the hope that the Pakistani Government would not be so insensitive as to hurt their feelings. "We are confident that President Zardari cannot play such a big joke on us and hurt our feelings and, I am hopeful that Sarabjit will be released, even if he is not freed immediately," she said. Meanwhile, Sarabjit's daughter, Swapandeep Kaur, said she was shattered to hear the news of the goof-up, and expressed hope that the Pakistani Government would not disappoint them. "This is a rude shock; we still hope that the Pakistani Government did not play such a big joke on us. We really hope that the previous news of his release is true and later reports are all false. I pray that my father is released soon. We hope that Zardari ( Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari) does not disappoint us after raising our hopes," said Swapandeep. "We really pray that he is released soon; if Surjeet is released before him; it is fine, but we hope that sooner, or later my father is released," she added. Hours after reports emerged that Pakistan was to free Sarabjit Singh, the presidential spokesman clarified last night that the authorities had taken steps for the release of another Indian prisoner named Surjeet Singh. Sarabjit, who was condemned to death for his involvement in a string of bombings in Punjab in 1990, had earlier last month filed a fresh clemency appeal to President Zardari.
