Sanaullah incident will dent India's image: Dalbir Kaur

AMRITSAR: Terming Pakistan prisoner Sanaullah Ranjay's death as a horrible incident, Dalbir Kaur, sister of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh who was murdered in a Lahore jail, said the episode has dented the image of India.
Dalbir Kaur told TOI on Thursday, "I condemn the attack on Sanaullah and have sympathies for his family members."
Kaur, who had started akhand paath (continuous recital of Sri Guru Granth Sahib) for Sarabjit, said she would also pray for Sanaullah.
Sarabit, a death row convict, was attacked by fellow inmates of Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore on April 26 following which he died on May 2. Sanaullah was also brutally assaulted by an inmate of a Jammu jail and admitted at Chandigarh's PGIMER where he died on Thursday.
She said, "An eye for an eye is not the answer to resolve issues." If the governments of both India and Pakistan had reacted timely both Sarabjit and Sanaullah could have been saved, she said.
"Deaths of Sarabjit and Sanaullah would be a turning point in the history of both the countries which would generate a mass movement for pressurizing the governments to assure protection to foreign prisoners," Dalbir said. "Please provide foreign prisoners sufficient protection so that there is no other Sarabjit or Sanaullah". She said such incidents would only breed hatred between the two nations.
