Sarabjit's sister and others were shocked. They were given to understand that Sarabjut Singh had been pardoned his death sentence and he would be released.
But later, Pakistan Government confirmed that not Sarabjit but another person with similar (not same) name was being released as he had already served his sentence. He was also given death sentence but this was converted to imprisonment. On completion of jail term, he was being released.
What is fact. Did Pakistan Government play trick or Indians could not understand the true facts. This seems to be a communication gap and misunderstanding.

Yes this was Surjeet singh who is about to be released after completion of his life imprisonment. Pakistan Government is not serious about Indian sentiments in case of Sarabjeet Singh.
There was talk by Indian minister with his Pakistani counterpart. It is astonishing that the simple fact of Surjeet Singh's release was misunderstood as Sarabjit Singh's. Though media has not focused on Surjeet singh, his release is also welcome.
Surjeet Singh was to be released as he had already completed his term therefore media did not give it much importance, besides this was not as publicity oriented issue for media.
Even then, Surjeet Singh's release is welcome. There are many languishing in Indian and Pakistani jails despite completion of jail term.What is astonishing is how Surjeet singh and Sarabjit singh were confused for each other. Is this because of over zeal?
I would agree with that , it was either a mistake or over zeal by the media. However, I too feel happy that one more Indian has been released and would be coming home after 30 years.I sincerely hope that Pakistan has the magnanimity to pardon Sarabjit too ..
In fact, he was. But Zardari was pressurized to withdraw his orders and change his statement. This was done under an exchange program. Even the Pak-lawyer representing Sarabjit has confirmed this.
I was not shocked to hear this news because i know Pakistanis officials can do anything. This happened many time they say something and change from what they said next day. Nothing new in it. But its sad for Sarbjeet's family who enjoyed the news and next they were in sorrow. :blink:

Actually they wanted to distract from on going Mumbai attack accused case. They all agree that this was ISI and Laskare-Toeba who pressurized Pakistan to change the decision.

May be Abu Jindal will reveal all those Pakistanis top official names which were involved in Mubai attack.I also think they all were scared of it and tried to distract all from that to this one. :blink:

I am not much hopeful, they are not competent enough to do their job. They only do it for keeping their job intact, never go to the root of the mater.
Surjit singh must not admit it publicly because this is against the standard norms. They never admit it officially although every one knows about it.
Who knows that public acceptance of his being Indian spy may be condition for his release. He is also confident of getting Sarabjit Singh released. This could also be for similar condition.

This shows that Pakistan is better equipped as far as politics is concerned. They know how to tackle counter offence. This is related to ongoing shout on espionage.

As a matter of fact, all know the techniques of espionage. India also engages even Pakistan nationals for this. similarly, some Indians may work for Pakistan. some are even double agents.

Either Media is quoting wrong or he is just totally screwed... And by issuing such statements he is only effecting the release of other Indians if there is a chance

Media reports are meaningless. In fact, we need to read authentic notifications of Ministry of External affairs of Pakistan. Surjit Singh is concerned person and he suffered a lot. He is more authentic.

Surjit Singh has accepted it while in Pakistan's possession but he could have denied it here saying that he was under pressure. I have read him somewhere claiming his pay etc for the period that he spent in Pakistan.

The spies are generally not regular employees of intelligence agencies. They may be anyone- even a diplomat's wife. They are not paid openly but through secret funds for the purpose. Their fate is worse than that of a contract employee whose work is at least openly acknowledged and he is paid openly.
The spies are in very peculiar position. No government openly admits spying. When caught by foreign government, there condition becomes very pitiable. contrasted to the spies, the prisoners of war get very good treatment according to Geneva convention and they are well recognized by own government as well as the foreign.

Actually he wrote letters to government of India saying that his family was in trouble and starving to death therefore he demanded his dues as a employee of government espionage agency, if I remember right- RAW.

What I want to convey is that RAW would not accept him as their employee. In fact, regular employees do not directly indulge in espionage. They only engage sources in other organizations and pay them from secret fund only. I remember that once I was told that speaker of a Vidhan Sabha as well a Church official in North East were in pay of Intelligence agencies. All this is secret and no agency will ever openly admit sending some one for espionage.
Now it appears that Surjit Singh has been released from Pakistan Jail for defaming India. First he claimed that he is Indian spy. Now Pakistan asks India for apology.
Apparently, Surjit has been brainwashed by Pakistan and being used against India.

As I said earlier, he was claiming this all along, he was writing letters from Pakistani Jail ever since he was there. Now Pakistan played it as a trump card to counter Jindal case.
