Meanwhile, Talking about Sarabjit, Surjeet Singh, who reached India on Thursday after 31 years, he said that he was doing fine.

“He is not facing any problems there. He is fine. I used to see him on a weekly basis in the prison,” said Surjeet.

“I hope he is released soon,” he said.

Talking about the confusion over the release of Sarabjit, Surjeet said, “All this happened due to spelling mistakes as in Urdu language the spelling of Surjeet and Sarabjit are almost similar.”
