Sarabjit’s sister assured by Pakistan minister
WSN Network 

AMRITSAR: Indian death row prisoner in Pakistan Sarabjit Singh's sister Dalbir Kaur has put off her visit to the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi to obtain visas for a trip to the neighbouring country to submit a fresh petition seeking clemency for her brother. 

She postponed her visit following an assurance from Pakistan's outgoing Human Rights Minister Ansar Burney on the phone that he would help her get the visas for the entire family when he comes to India next month, Dalbir told mediapersons here that Burney informed her that he was coming to India on April 2 and visit Bikhiwind, Sarabjit's native village. 

She has also been asked by Burney to keep ready all the documents which could prove the innocence of Sarabjit Singh, she said, adding, it was pointless going to the Pakistan High Commission now that Burney had assured to help her get the visas. Burney was the man who had helped secure the release of Kashmir Singh, the alleged spy released from Pakistan jail after 35 years.
