‘Spy’ Surjeet Singh handed over to Indian authorities; confesses offense

[Xestan]

He gave us a reason now why we shouldn't release Sarabjit Singh. A convicted Terrorist. Now all the Indian stories can be ignored. Hang him!

 

[Screambowl]

Pakistan should take sarabjit's matter seriously. If you can release a spy then be humane and please release Sarabjit.

LAHORE: Indian prisoner Surjeet Singh was released Thursday from Kot Lakhpat jail after serving his lifeterm for 27 years, Geo News reported. He, along with 311 fishermen were handed over to Indian authorities at Wagha border.



In his brief talk after being released, Surjeet Singh said that he had a pleasant time while being jailed in Pakistan but he kept on missing his home and family.



Surjeet said that he will go to Golden Temple as soon as he will reach India to express his gratitude.



Upon his arrival in India, Surjeet admitted to being sent for spying in Pakistan.



He said Indian prisoners in Pakistan are treated well, adding that he met Sarbjit as well.



Indian Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna on Thursday said it was time for Sarabjit to be set free.



"I welcome this decision (on Surjeet) and further renew our request to the president of Pakistan to release Sarabjit who has been in custody for well over two decades and is serving a death sentence," Krishna said.



Surjeet Singh, son of Sucha Singh, was originally given death sentence that was commuted in 1989 by then president Ghulam Ishaq Khan on the advice of then premier Benazir Bhutto.



Surjeet Singh was held at Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore. He was captured near the border with India on charges of spying during the era of military ruler Zia-ul-Haq.

I dont think so because when Nachiketa was taken as POW, his views were different.

there is a difference, Surjeet was a spy and he spent his term.

Sarabjit on the other hand is locked up for terrorism.. just because his shenanigans were not videoed live dont make him any less of a terrorist like Kasab.

Amazed we had so much in common: Pak officer on Indian Kargil pilot


Manu Pubby : New Delhi, Sat Jun 13 2009, 02:23 hrs

Ten years ago, two fighter pilots from India and Pakistan had “an interesting conversation over tea and snacks” on the Pakistani side of the Line of Control (LoC).

Air Commodore (retd) Kaiser Tufail, the Pakistani officer who “interrogated” Flight Lieutenant K Nachiketa after his MiG-27 fighter crashed during a bombing run in Kargil in 1999, claims they “discussed his father’s heart problem and the recent marriage of his sister” during an hour-long exchange after his capture.

Nachiketa was subsequently returned to India. He later met with another MiG-27 crash and now flies transport aircraft.

Tufail, whose blow-by-blow account of how the Pakistani Army plotted the Kargil operations was reported by The Indian Express on Friday, maintains he had a “very civil” conversation with the downed Indian pilot, discussing family problems, peculiarities of their respective services and “shared a vegetable patty”.

“I was detailed to talk to Nachiketa and it was a most friendly talk between two gentlemen officers. We had tea and some snacks and we rambled about flying...my mandate was to strictly maintain the cordiality of a crew room and to find out the circumstances of his ejection and the mission he was flying,” Tufail, who was Director of Operations of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) during the Kargil conflict, told The Indian Express today.

“I was so amazed to find that there are so many issues in common. I asked him what he was doing before the mission and he said he had taken leave to help arrange his sister’s wedding. It is the same thing that brothers are required to do here.”

Tufail said Nachiketa was curious about the PAF and somewhat surprised that all officers had access to free Internet.

“He also questioned me and was surprised that we have free Internet for the air force. I told him that perhaps we were a smaller force and so it was easier to give Internet access to all... We had a cordial chat. I first thought of him as an officer and only after that as an Indian officer.”

he is the man who interrogate him

no reason there
we already knew that Surjeet was a spy, but he has more than done his time now. if he had been involved in terrorism like Sarabjit then there was no chance of his release as well.

his release has nothing to do with Sarabjit .. who is held for terrorism.

 

[Fuego]

How many Pakistani 'Spies' are held in India?

 

[SEAL]

Pakistan also releasing 311 Indian fisherman.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

he is bloody liar . a pilot of PAF here on forum already bust him because same pilot meet him after he arrested cheer him ask him abut his health and bring to base . its already hell discussed here . we just interrogate him and it was our right .do you really thing someone petal roses on POV who come to bomb us ?

back in India in his press conference.. he did say he was treated well.

When questioned about his treatment at the hands of Pakistan, Nachiketa said it was fine but he refused to go into any further details.

 

[Last Hope]

he also lauded the efforts of former federal interior minister Rehman Malik for making his freedom possible.

Well, this is not surprising, mentioning that whenever any spy/foreign 'terrorist'/foreign agent been captured, Rehman Malik has been the first one on his feet and giving them freedom. Countless CIA agents are captured in Baluchistan and KPK yet after some hours of 'captivity' they are sent back on a Boeing 747-400.

 

[Pakistani sipahi]

All the guys when released start claiming that they were spies . All this chest Expanding makes life difficult for the guys who are innocent . He should shut his big mouth , we knew that he was a spy or other thing else and he has got his punishment 30 years in prison .

 

[kurup]

THis is what Sqn. Ldr . Nachiketha has to say ..

 

[Irfan Baloch]

THis is what Sqn. Ldr . Nachiketha has to say ..

what a shame

he was given place in officers mess and given a batman as well. the guy looked fresh and healthy while his captivity and even managed smiles in the photo shoots.

fellow Pilots of PAF really liked him and despite the on going conflict he was not sent to any prison. he even managed to give a one liner that the Pakistani treatment was fine. (thats when he was in India)

its a shame if what he maintains afterwords is correct and also a shame if he is lying.
I know for sure if we had really roughed him up then his flying career would have been over.

anyways.. I guess his national duty called for recording this video to show Pakistan badly.

 

[Gandhi G in da house]

Why is it that till the early 1990s we were having spies operating in Pakistan but not anymore since then ? Can any Indian please answer this ? We need covert operations now more than ever before when terrorism is at its peak .
