LAHORE, NOV 8
The Punjab Deputy Chief Minister, Mr.
Sukhbir Singh Badal, today made an impassioned appeal to Pakistan Punjab Chief
Minister Janab Shahbaz Sharif to persuade his federal government to take
positive steps for early release of Sarabjit Singh and other Indian prisoners
lodged in Pak Jails.
In a communiqué handed over to Janab Sharif, Mr. Badal
said that people of Punjab and all Punjabis had very high hopes on his visit to
Pakistan
and they were eagerly awaiting positive outcome especially on Indian prisoners’
issue. He said that both Punjabs’ had taken very credible steps in normalizing
and strengthening trade & commerce ties and the positive gesture of
Pakistan on Sarabjit and other Indian prisoners would have a lasting impact on
Indo-Pak ties.
Mr. Badal said that Various NGOs of Pakistan and India were
collectively working to pursue these cases and much progress has been made in
the case of Sarbjit Singh but his release was withheld after some technical
problems. He was taking this opportunity to request him to give a last push to
this lingering issue between both Punjabs’ and request your Federal Government
to take concrete steps so that these innocent prisoners could be reunited with
their families.
Mr. Badal said that history has given us an
opportunity to rewrite relations between two Punjabs’ and he was sure that by
taking positive steps on this issue, his efforts would be catalytic in further
cementing our ties.
