Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde on Sunday said that the ministry of home affairs and ministry of external affairs are constantly in touch with the Pakistani government to know the condition of Sarabjit Singh’s health.
Sarabjit, who was attacked by fellow prisoners at Lahore Jail, is battling for life at Jinnah Hospital.
Shinde, who was in Pune to attend a function, told media persons that the Indian government was making every possible effort to get details of Sarabjit’s health.
Shinde added, “We are constantly taking updates.”
Sarabjit was lodged in Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore where he was attacked by fellow prisoners on Friday. He is now fighting for his life in Jinnah Hospital. After the attack, the Pakistan government expedited the visa procedure and gave visas to Sarabjit’s family members who entered Pakistan on Sunday.
“Earlier, when Pakistan’s external affairs minister had visited India, the family members of Sarabjit Singh had met the minister and he had assured them that Pakistan would give them visas in three days. However, Pakistan did not give do so and the Indian government has already registered a protest,” Shinde said.
