BANGALORE, Apr 27:
Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad today described the attack on Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh, who was in a jail in Pakistan, as “most unfortunate” and said there was no democracy or humanity in Pakistan.
“It is very unforunate. We have an example here. A Pakistani militant who was in jail and because of whom so many people died in a Mumbai hotel, till he was hanged, not only were crores of rupees spent on his protection, even his lawyer’s fee was taken care of”, he told reporters here, apparently referring to Amir Ajmal Kasab.
“This is the difference between India’s democracy and humanity and that of Pakistan. We are still following the age old tradition of treating even our enemies in a humane manner. Pakistan has no faith in democracy, no faith in humanity”, he said.
Azad declined to comment on China’s intrusion.
“It is a sensitive issue. Any comment will have international replication. So only Ministry of External Affairs and Defence Ministry, who is incharge of territorial integrity, can comment on such matters,” he added in reply to a question.
“My advice to other colleagues is also the same. We should not sensitise the issue,” he added. (Agencies)
