Chandigarh: Pakistan's
High Commissioner Salman Bashir Monday saw Pakistani prisoner
Sanaullah Ranjay, who is admitted in a critical condition at the
PGIMER here, and sought an "impartial probe" into the attack on
him.
Interacting with media persons afterwards, Bashir sought an
"impartial probe into the unfortunate incident" in Jammu jail in
which Ranjay was critically injured.
"He is in a critical condition. His prognosis is bleak," the high
commissioner said.
Bashir, who also interacted with doctors at the PGIMER
(Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research), said:
"The doctors here are doing their best. They are constrained by
the condition in which he was brought here."
He said the Pakistan high commission was working on getting visa
to India for Ranjay's family to meet him.
Pakistan had earlier sought the immediate repatriation of Ranjay
for treatment there.
Asked if the assault on Ranjay was retaliation for the attack on
Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh in a Pakistani prison which later
led to his death, Bashir said in a measured tone: "After the
Sarabjit incident, there was a lot of hype in various circles.
That should not happen."
Ranjay continued to be "critically sick" and in "deep coma", a
medical bulletin said.
"His BP (blood pressure) dipped today. His condition has
deteriorated further," a PGIMER source said.
Two officials of the Pakistan high commission have been camping
here since Sunday. They are allowed to see the comatose Pakistani
national once every day.
Ranjay, lodged in Jammu's Kot Bhalwal Jail, was critically injured
after being attacked by an Indian prisoner Friday. He was flown
from Jammu to PGIMER for treatment.
The incident took place a day after Sarabjit succumbed to grievous
injuries sustained in a murderous assault on him in Lahore's Kot
Lakhpat Jail.
Asked about the Indian prisoners of war (POWs) in Pakistani
prisons, Bashir said a mechanism was in place between India and
Pakistan to work on this.
He said there were many Pakistani prisoners in Indian prisons
also.
