(2013-04-28)

The Government of Pakistan has provided 2nd Consular access to Indian diplomats presently stationed in Lahore. They have been asked to coordinate with Deputy Chief of Protocol of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Camp Office Lahore and with the MS of Jinnah Hospital for Consular arrangements.

Earlier today, the family members of Sarabjeet Singh also visited the hospital and met with the doctors and saw Sarabjeet. The hospital offered a room for the family members to stay, in case they wanted to be close to the patient, however they chose to stay in a hotel. Family members will be able to visit Sarabjeet whenever they want and full cooperation is being given to them by the Punjab Government and the hospital staff.

The Government of Pakistan remains committed to provide all assistance necessary to the family of Sarabjeet and will continue to cooperate with the Indian authorities in this regard.
