Sarabjit Singh dies: Dalbir Kaur speaks to the media - highlights

New Delhi: Dalbir Kaur, the sister of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh who died in a Lahore hospital this morning after a murderous attack in jail last week, has demanded that the Indian government cut off all ties with Pakistan.

Highlights from her media conference:

• Pakistan is a coward nation.
• I appealed to the Home Minister to deny visas to Pakistanis. 
• The Pakistan government will have to answer to the entire world.
• I have been saying since 2005 that if every government had thought of doing something concrete, Sarabjit would have been alive.
• It is the carelessness of the Indian government because of which Sarabjit died.
• Sarabjit will be given the status of 'martyr' but all this is being said to me when he is no more.
• India's sarabjit has been sacrificed for India.
• Whenever India took up Sarabjit's case, why didn't Asif Ali Zardari respond?
• Last year, in the name of Sarabjit, Surjit was released. I still thanked Pakistan that atleast one Indian has come back to our country.
• I went from pillar to post, travelled in buses and trains, did everything possible to bring Sarabjit back, but I failed.
• I always suspected that I was kept in the dark. I was forced to return to India.
• Whenever I was asking them about Sarabjit's health in hospital, the nurses and doctors were laughing at me.
• They knew Sarabjit is already dead, what else will they tell me?
• India should come together and stand united.
• I appeal to all parties to come together, strengthen the government's hands.
