Sarabjit Rihai Program

Jaipur Live, Hindustan Times, Jaipur: Monday, 29 June 2009: Sarabjit’s sister banks on Khwaja: SARABJIT SINGH’S sister Dalbir kaur will be offering a chadar at Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti’s dargah in Ajmer in the hope that it will save her broth- er from the noose in Pakistan. She said, “I have immense faith in Guru Granth Sahib, Dargah Sharif and hence I am relying on this invisible power to save life of Sarabjit.” When Hindustan Times contacted Kaur on her cell phone, even her caller tune was pleading to get Sarabjit released: “Mere bhaiya se kehna, behna yaad kare’. She was at Bangalore on Sunday to attend a function organised by a woman’s organisation in which a procession was taken out appealing to release Sarabjit. Kaur said, “I will be in Jaipur on Monday on the invitation of Sandeep Gupta. We would be going to Ajmer Sharif to offer chaddar, as we are trying our best to get Sarabjit released, who is in jail in Lahore.” After Jaipur, she will go to Chandigarh, Shimla and Mumbai to attend similar functions, she added. She had been to Pakistan only once till now. She said Hamid was paid Rs 2.95 lakh, but was demanding Rs 6 lakh. He did not appear in the court, as he did not get the money he demanded, she added. Sheikh will now fight Sarabjit’s case and will file an appeal in the court and fight for free, Kaur added. Kaur and Sarabjit’s daughter Sopandeep Kaur will come to Jaipur on Monday to participate in a programme called ‘Ek Dua Sarabjit ke Liye’ organised by Aam-e- Hindustani Manch. Manch chief Sandeep Gupta, who is a chartered accountant by profession and a social worker has organised this programme. He said, “Being an Indian, we should do something for Sarabjit and at least we can pray for his release.” A signature campaign will be organised at Badi Chaupar on Monday at 4.30pm, in which residents of Jaipur would sign on the chaddar to be offered at the Dargah. He along with Singh’s relatives would leave for Ajmer to offer a chaddar at the Dargah Sharif. Sandeep Gupta said Dalbir Kaur and Sopandeep Kaur would submit a memorandum to the delegation that has come from Pakistan in Ajmer.
