Pakistan seeks transfer of attacked prisoner from India
223
SRINAGAR: Pakistan sought of Friday immediate transfer of the prisoner who had suffered serious head injuries after being attacked in an Indian jail in apparent tit-for-tat violence following the death of an Indian inmate Sarabjit Singh in Pakistan.
On Friday, Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesman Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry said his country's mission in New Delhi had contacted Indian authorities and was seeking details of the attack and consular access to Ranjay.
''This obvious retaliation to the death of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh is condemnable,'' Chaudhry said in a statement.
''We would also remind the government of India of its responsibility in ensuring the safety and security of all Pakistani prisoners lodged in Indian jails,'' the statement said.
Moreover Pakistan sought immediate transfer of Sanaullah to Pakistan for treatment purposes.
A spokesman for India's Ministry of External Affairs, Syed Akbaruddin, said Indian officials were ensuring that Ranjay gets the medical treatment he requires and would grant consular access to him as soon as his condition stabilises.
He said India had issued an advisory to strengthen security for Pakistani prisoners in Indian jails.
According to Akbaruddin, there are 535 Indian prisoners in Pakistani jails and 272 Pakistani prisoners in Indian jails. He said India was proposing a meeting of officials in both countries to ''identify and put in place further measures to avoid such tragic incidents in future.''
The inmate, named as Sanaullah, was attacked early in the morning by other inmates in apparent tit-for-tat violence following the death of an Indian inmate Sarabjit Singh in Pakistan, the official said, a day after India's home ministry ordered stepped-up security for hundreds of Pakistanis in Indian prisons.
“He has been admitted in GMC Hospital with grievous head injuries,” an official at the main prison in the northwestern city of Jammu told AFP on condition of anonymity.
On Thursday, Sarabjit Singh, an Indian in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat prison, who was jailed 16 years ago for spying and deadly bombings, died as a result of a savage assault by inmates.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh condemned that “barbaric and murderous attack” and New Delhi complained that its diplomats were denied access to the prisoner as he fought for his life.
Singh is to be cremated with state honours near his native village in northwestern Punjab state on Friday.

See we as Pakistanis should not eradicate such individuals, but more importantly fight this ideology of Indians being our enemies. It is time that we show maturity and deal with issues on the table. Sad to hear the loss of Sarabjit Singh, my heart goes out to his family. May ALLAH give them the strength and patience to overcome this loss. And equally sad to hear the plight of Sanaullah, may you recover swiftly, and may these both nations learn to open their hearts to one another. We united can be the strongest region in the world...

It is indeed very sad incident and I feel it is a shameful act.
I was very hurt by the treatment of Sarabjit in Pakistan and I consider him a martyr and the incident that should not have happened.
But what has just happened in India, makes me feel, Sarabjit's martyrdom has been stained, with no fault of his.
Feel sorry for this pakistani inmate, but what both attackers have done is very shameful.

We have lost our moral high ground on Sarbajeet matter. However, it is too early to jump the gun, and label the incident as a "tit for tat", just because the incident stated herein, follows so close to the other unpleasant episode of a few days back. Needless to state, both incidents are equally condemnable, and the perpetrators should be brought to justice. A wise man had once said, if you start counting numbers on both sides, you turn out to be a petty shop accountant.
Also, there seems to be certain discrepancies in the instant matter. As per other reports, the prisoner was attacked by one inmate, not inmates as stated, kindly clarify and make needful changes if the need so be.

I am amazed how Indians are shamelessly justifying this "tit for tat". Indians have such a victim mentality and are completely unaware of any wrong doing on their part when asked.
Sarabjit's assault was an absolutely disgusting incident, something that the prison administration should have anticipated and guarded against. The news was all over the Pak media and widely criticised. I wonder if this news is anywhere in the Indian media. If at all, we have a bunch of Indians "praising" this. Then we in Pakistan wonder why we are so anti-Indian. Fact is we are destined to be anti-each other until the ordinary people learn to get above these petty "tit for tats".

Until yesterday, I was convinced Pakistan is a rogue state with no hope for redressal. That India should give up improving relationships because for every step we take in the right direction, Pakistan takes two steps back. Yesterday, Indian politicians and some Bollywood stars were riding the moral high horse saying Pakistan is an uncivilized nation with no humanity. And then I woke up to news of Sanaullah being beaten up exactly the same way as Sarabjit was. Shame on India!! Absolutely terrible. I hope that India will now do what Manmohan Singh preached to Pakistan yesterday, and bring Sanaullah to justice, giving the culprits the worst punishment there is, not just a simple execution.

New Delhi: Official Spokesperson's response to query on the incident involving a Pakistani prisoner
May 03, 2013
In response to a query on the incident involving a Pakistani prisoner, the Official Spokesperson said:
"We are aware of the regrettable incident involving a Pakistani prisoner, Sanaullah Ranjay, who was injured today during an altercation with another inmate of a jail in Jammu.
The matter is being investigated and the guilty will be punished. As you are aware an advisory had been issued to strengthen security for Pakistani prisoners in Indian jails. Safety and security of prisoners in custody lies with the jail authorities and necessary action is being taken.
We are in touch with the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi on the matter. The injured is receiving medical treatment and once the medical arrangements are in place consular access will be provided.
There are 535 Indian prisoners (including 483 fishermen) in Pakistani jails and a total of 272 Pakistani prisoners in Indian jails.
We had requested the joint Judicial Committee to visit jails in Pakistan. This was the Committee's sixth meeting and they have made some recommendations.
In view of the tragic events that include the killing of two Indian prisoners in Pakistani jails and the incident involving a Pakistani prisoner in a jail in Jammu today there is a need to take stock of the current measures in place to ensure the safety, security and humane treatment of Indian and Pakistani prisoners in each others jails. For this, we are proposing a meeting of the concerned authorities of both countries to study the recommendations and identify and put in place further measures to avoid such tragic incidents in future."

Of course, what happened to Sanaullah Haq can never be justified and is severely condemned in no uncertain terms, but Pakistan clearly needs to understand, that time and again, it has taken India's tolerance and patience for granted, which it cannot anymore!
There have been many situations, where had it not been for PM Dr. Singh, the tension in the region could have escalated beyond anybody's belief!
But having said that, I'd also like to point out that there's a limit to everything! So far, we as a nation, have tried our level best to not "react" to Pak's malicious actions (something that you are hoping to happen for you to cry foul about, like you are now!) but now we must admit you have successfully pushed us to the edge!

As far as I know most of the Indian prisoners in Pakistan and vice versa are either fishermen who strayed into the "enemy" territorial waters or overstayed their visa period. Why can't both countries sit across the table periodically and repatriate the people unless they have engaged in some criminal offence. Let this be decided on a case-to-case basis and not on numbers (eg. 50 persons from each side). Again, instead of being lodged in jail with criminals why don't these people be lodged in some other place as long as there is no apparent criminal offence other than visa rule violations.

We Pakistanis should have shown some humbleness when Sabargit was attacked, on Indian government's request should have allowed Sabargit to travel to India. May be that would have eased some tension. But no, our pride and ego is larger than life of an individual (God forbid 2 lives).

I do not in any way support the way he was murder in Pakistan Jail, the attackers must be brought to justice. On the other hand it is sad to see some Indians happy with the killing Pakistanis in Indian jails. They should not forget there are twice as many Indians in Pakistani jails then Pakistanis in Indian jails.

My heart goes out to the family of this prisoner, and I will pray for his speedy recovery. However, it is becoming more and more obvious that Pakistan -- by which I mean its establishment or what counts for the establishment there -- does not understand or respect peaceful method. Sadly, the traditional Indian approach of showing the other cheek gets met only with a slap on that cheek. I feel that the only way to deal with Pakistan is to show that we can be as irrational as them. India needs to instill the fear of god into people who provoke India or Indians. That is the only way to protect the Indian people, and ultimately, bring peace to the region.

I wonder why Pakistan wants India to send back this Pakistani prisoner. Indian requests in case of Sarabjitsingh fell on deaf ears as far as requests for his return to India for medical treatment were concerned. For that matter, Pakistan should rest assured that Indian doctors are more advanced in knowledge and experience than their Pakistani counterparts, hence this Pakistani will survive. And remember the main "cultural" difference in these two countries - this Pakistani was shifted in an air ambulance where as Sarabjit Singh remained unattended in critical condition for five hours. And retaliations will take place for the simple reason that Pakistan Government and its politicians never understand the language of "sense", they are rogue, so Indians also have to be tit for tat. And in fact, Pakistan kills one Indian, we shall kill two Pakistanis.Pakistani Politicians are goondas and Indian politicians are unncessarily trying to be gentle with them. Hence my Indians, do not feel bad for this attack on a Pakistani prisoner in India. This only should happen with Pakistanis. Then only they will understand.

It's to India's credit that major killings by "so-called" NON-STATE actors - like the Mumabi attacks have not resulted in any response from India.
Secondly, what caught my attention was Pakistan had 580 plus (OFFICIAL FIGS!) Indian Prisoners in Pakistani Jails, and India had around 250 Pakistani prisoners.

On the other hand, when the same think happens to a Pak prisoner, they expect India to be benevolent. Pakistan is expecting India to airlift the prisoner all the way there!
We, Indians, haven't forgotten the Mumbai attacks and we are angered by Pak's inaction. The only way going forward is to reply with kindness only if Pak is kind but to retaliate with impunity otherwise. There can be no business as usual with Pakistan.

Very sad to see India and Pakistan doing this each other. What did these poor people do who are attacked and killed on both sides ?
