Muslim groups condemn attack on Sarabjit - Times of India

Debarjun Saha | 16:05 |
MUMBAI: A section of Muslim community leaders have condemned the brutal attack on Indian national Sarabjit Singh in Pakistani jail. The leaders have demanded that India should strongly lodge its protest at the international forums against the gross violation of the rights of a prisoner and efforts should be made to bring him to India for better treatment.

"After the lone terrorist of Mumbai attack, Kasab, was captured alive, India ensured that he was not harmed in jail. He was hanged after the completion of the due process of law. Why this policy has not been followed in the case of Sarabjit?,"asked Syed Moin Ashraf, he ad of Madrasa Jamia Ashrafia. Ashraf added that Pakistan had lost the moral to be called a civilized country. "It is shameful that even prisoners are not safe in Pakistan," added Ashraf.

Many said that Sarabjit's family members should be allowed to bring back him to India for better treatment even if he is a prisoner. "India should put pressure on the international community to force Pakistan to allow Sarabjit's family members to meet him and, if he is not provided proper treatment in Pakistan, he should be allowed to be airlifted to a good hospital in India," said Rashid Azeem of All India Milli Council.

On Saturday, while protesting attack on Sarabjit, Nizamuddin Raeen, in-charge of Mumbai Congress's minority department, said that Sarabjit deserves best medical treatment even if that requires him to be broug ht to India. "We kept Kasab alive till his hanging according to the law of the land. Now that Sarabjit's right as a prisoner has been violated, he must be given best treatment," said Raeen.
