New Delhi: As Indian
death row prisoner Sarabjit Singh battled for his life in a Lahore
hospital, the Indian government Sunday said it would do everything
it can to let him come home on humanitarian grounds.
"I think at the moment the first priority is to stabilize him. I
don't suppose you could really move him in this stage. But we can
certainly do everything we can. We have done it in the past and
the matter has been taken up at every level," Minister of State
for External Affairs Preneet Kaur told NDTV news channel.
She said the government has always brought up the issue of
Sarabjit Singh at every level with Pakistan to let him come home
on humanitarian grounds.
Asked if the government has been informed about the reason behind
the attack on Sarabjit by fellow prisoners in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat
jail Friday, she said: "There has been nothing concrete that we
have got to know. As soon as we know, we will share with you."
Doctors at a Lahore hospital have said chances of Singh's
survival, who was brutally assaulted by fellow inmates, were
"slim". He is in "deep unconsciousness", doctors said.
Sarabjit's family, which reached Lahore Sunday and saw him at
hospital, pleaded for help from the Indian government and prayed
for his life.
