New Delhi: There was a cruel twist for Indian prisoner in Pakistan Sarabjit Singh and his family. Hours after announcing that he would be released, Islamabad has confirmed that it's not him, but another Indian prisoner Surjeet Singh who is being sent home.It was a major faux pas by the government, which means for now Sarabjit Singh will not be released. He has been in jail for the past 22 years after he was convicted in the 1990 serial blasts case. Zardari had commuted his death sentence to life and is considering Sarabjit's fifth mercy plea that was sent last month.
The clarification came over five hours after Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari's spokesperson Farhatullah Babar confirmed that Sarabjit was to be released, sparking celebrations at his Jalandhar home.
"I think there is some confusion. First, it is not a case of pardon. More importantly, it is not Sarabjit. It is Surjeet Singh, son of Sucha Singh. His death sentence was commuted in 1989 by President (Ghulam) Ishaq (Khan) on the advice of (then premier) Benazir Bhutto," Farhatullah Babar said. Any references to President Asif Ali Zardari in the entire matter were "out of context", the presidential spokesman said.
