In a bold statement on Wednesday, the wife
of Sarabjit Singh said the family did not want him repatriated from Pakistan
if it meant India releasing some terrorists in exchange.
"Myself and my daughters would never
like Sarabjit freed in exchange for any hardcore Pakistani terrorist lodged
in Indian jails," Sarabjit's wife, Sukhpreet Kaur, told PTI.
Ms. Kaur said that for the family, "nothing
is above the nation and we can't go against the interests of our motherland."
Sister's visit
She said the family was informed by journalists
that Sarabjit's sister Dalbir Kaur would be going to Pakistan and the government
had assured her a passport and visa.
"I would urge the government to give
me and my daughters travel documents for visiting Sarabjit in the Kot Lakhpat
Jail," she added. - PTI
