"We do not want Sarabjit in exchange for terrorists": wife
2008-03-20
In a bold statement on Wednesday, the wife of Sarabjit Singh said they did not wish him to be repatriated from Pakistan if it meant India had to release some terrorists in exchange.

“Myself and my daughters would never like Sarabjit freed in exchange for any hardcore Pakistani terrorists lodged in Indian jails,” Sukhpreet Kaur, wife of the Indian prisoner on death row in the Lahore jail, told PTI.
Sarabjit is due to be executed on April 1st.
She said that for the family “nothing is above the nation and we can’t go against the interests of our motherland.”

#8  He is most likely a drunken trespasser. He is a simple farmer and doesn't have the police, military or IAS background to be a RAW/IB black operative.

#7  Sarabjit was sentenced to death in 1991 for his alleged involvement in four bomb blasts in Lahore and Multan that killed 14 people. His family denies he is a spy as claimed by Pakistan and insists he accidentally strayed into Pakistani territory.

#2  "Come back with your shield, or on it."

Spartan women to their men.

Sukhpreet Kaur

"Kaur" is the surname taken by Sikh women. So the family are indeed Sikhs.

#1  "Come back with your shield or on it," isn't that what Roman matrons told their menfolk? If I recall correctly, Singh is the surname of the Sikhs, which goes some way to explain such wisdom and courage.
