They did the same with my brother: Dalbir Kaur

Chandigarh, April 10: Dalbir Kaur, the sister of Sarabjit Singh, who died in a Pakistan jail in 2013, has said that India should approach the International Court of Justice and ensure that the death sentence awarded to Kulbhushan Jadhav by Pakistani establishment is not carried out.

“Our government should take appropriate steps. They should appeal in the international court of justice and seek stay,” Kaur said over phone while reacting on the Pakistan army court’s verdict.

India should take every necessary step to ensure that Jadhav’s death sentence

is not carried out, she said.

“Even if I assume for a minute that Jadhav was an agent, still does he deserve death sentence. There are many Pakistani nationals lodged in our jails who are charged with serious crimes, does this mean they too should be given the same treatment. The 2000 Red Fort attack case convict was a Pakistani national, but was he hanged?” she asked.

About Jadhav, she said, “Just because he is an Indian, he has been given death sentence. This shows the hatred and enmity which Pakistan harbours towards India”. PM Narendra Modi should speak about this to his Pakistani counterpart, she said.

Having lost her brother four years back in Pakistan, Kaur said she could fully understand what Jadhav’s family must be going through.

“I am with the family. They should immediately meet the PM. My full support is with Jadhav’s family. I can accompany them if they go to meet the PM,” she said.
