Hina Rabbani: Sarabjit was a human being first, Indian later

May 02, 2013 10:35

This is what former Pakistan foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar, said on Sarabjit Singh's death: "If it was the PPP government, we would have moved very quickly and even before a request could come forth we would have made arrangements to fly Mr Singh out to a place of the family's choosing, simply on humanitarian grounds.

Let's get a life, Singh is a human being and it does not matter that he is an Indian. I would have put all legalities aside and ordered my foreign secretary to release and fly out Mr Singh. After all Pakistan is not responsible to what happened to him but we could help under the circumstances'."
