I was a spy and did my duty, says Kashmir Singh

it would b very kind of u ,If u tell me how to become a govt spy....plz do reply..i love country ..

Pakistanis return indian spies and Indians kill pakistani citizens...great exchange! .. Looking forward for hanging of sarabjith singh.

This is shame on our goverment system.. the person who is going on such a risky duties they should be take care of there families. other wise it will give a wrong message to younger generations. thanks

I thought kashmir singh was a punjabi hindu or a sikh gentleman. It would be interesting to know when and how he became a muslim while he was in a pakistani jail and if his adopting new faith had anything to do with his new found freedom.. It is not clear whether his family in india has followed Kashmir singh's change of faith.They continue to use original names as does Kashmirsingh. It is not my business to question the faith of an individual but I would like to know whether name has any bearing on one's faith.

All Indians are corrupt and culprits who can be hanged for eternity. Its a crime to forget someone who has gone to serve the country. Arey we forget doing good to our Army offiers, who are in front of us what to tell about those who left the country to serve as spies. The govt is first culprit, the second is the Political Parties, the third is the mdia and the last but not the least is the Indian Populace including the corporates. The IAS who manage the show are the Cream of the culprits as they dont do any good to this nation and dont let the motivated people to do it by drafting lesser pay for them. They along with the governments (read FM)dont even care to ay sufficient for the Heros but always have reasons not to pay them. Pity on all the indians.We truely have become spineless and thankless

By publicly acknowledging that he was a spy, Kashmira Singh compromised the situation for Sabarjith and others who are languishing in Pakisthani prisons. It is really unfortunate.

indian government is wiser den the foolish public if the government would have said he was a spy he would not have got lifer from the pakistani government. he would have killed or perished inside the jail. by the way kashmira sing did a big mistake by telling he is was a spy he made the lifes of many prisners in pakistan under question mark and in future govt of pakistan woul d never treat all prisnors as good they will really assume all r spies even many fishermen may be not spies. and the govt of punjab is politically using the fame they think of politics instead of nation and other prisnors who are still in pakistani prison. if in reality the govt of punjab had any love for nation they would hav helped kashmira and never made it news. we know indian bad politicians who r curse to nation.

Pakistan was humane to Kashmir Singh though a spy. In todays world every thing could be used for spying. In an Orwellian system everything is monitored and is doctored for an ideology. In such a situation every one should reason whether they are doing right or wrong as they could be doing some one's dirty work. Make one's life ethical and do not compromise ask and reason why you are doing something for others. Say no to every compromising and unethical act no matter who ask to do. Do not end being unofficial representatives for morons, corrupt, men slayers, religious bigots, paranoiac beliefs or any one as no one is to believed on face value. World is better place without all these and all the problems in the world is because of them

We are happy as Indians that Kashmir singh has come back from Pakistan. We request our Govt.to work hard for the release of Sarabjeet singh and others like him languashing in Pakistani jails for no fault of theirs.

Kashmir Singh-Jai Hind. People like you make people like us proud to be human. God Bless you and your family.I pray you have many years more with Kaur and family and all the benefits and respect which you aptly deserve.

With our hearts full of emotions and our eyes full of tears, we salute you, Kashmir Singh and your devoted wife Paramjeet Kaur, in absolute Awe and Reverence. May God give you a very long life so that your family and you can spend many happy years together to enable you all to recoup all that you have lost for 35 long years. May every proud young girl and woman of India wish for a brother, husband, father like you and may every proud young boy and man of India wish for a sister, wife, bhabhi and mother like Paramjeet Kaur. And may Mother India give births to many many proud sons, brothers, husbands like you. Our emotions in our hearts and tears in our eyes are making it difficult, almost impossible for us to find suitable words, suitable language in which to express our heartfelt gratitude and immense pride at what you have done so that millions of your fellow countrymen, women and children can remain safe and secure in their homes. This message is a tribute to honour the sacrifices of the gallant Indian Jawans who in all the wars that India has fought to the last man and the last round on the icy desolate peaks of the Himalayas with obsolete bolt-action Lee-Enfield rifles against the assault rifles, heavy machine guns, mortars and artillery of the enemies. Hope the whole nation will stand up and rise to demand that our present government do its utmost to free all others still in Pakistani jails.

Really this is an unbelievable story or may be fact! The authorities have to reply for the his claim. If he was employed as a paid spy, there will be record for the same with govt. The public have to know what the reality is! The Indian people is very thankful to Pakistani authorities for his return and especially the human rights activists in the country as well. Also, the authorities have to investigate any other intention by the Pakistani authorities by this belated release, socially, internationally affairs or as a part of some hidden agenda…Thanking you, Rajendran

Kashmir singh has done his job,but has changed his faith to just get mercy of pakistani officials.He should be converted back to sikhism before giving him any benefit as he was a sikh at the time of his official duty ,so he says.Secondly he should not be praising pakistan for toturing him for so many years and forcing him to change his relegion.He seems to be out of his head.I praise Badal for helping him and denounce central government for ignoring many.As a son of retired army officer i know the plight after retirement.Our government does not do enough for encouraging people to join army,only adds are not good emough.the benefits after retirements are to be re worked etc.Kashmir singh change relegion and become indian by soul.

How ab't a Padamshree or Gallentry award to Kashmir Singh.Or is it reserved only for the high

Shame Shame Kashmire Singh you are not patriot because if you were patriot you can talk about good relationship with both countries .Ansar barney not helped you ( kashamire singh ) instead he helped Humanity..

There are many politicians, not fit to be sitting in the parliament talking about patriotism, true patriots like Kashmir sing unnoticed in our democracy. Our media gives importance to cine stars, cricket players and to the dirty politicians. After the release of Kashmir sing, the media should play important role in publishing articles about those who still suffering from Pakistan jails like Kashmir sing.35 years of life is gone for Kashmir Singh, why he can’t be treated as Nelson Mandela or even Gandhi or Nehru?Government must compensate him with a hefty amount, he is should honored with highest honors in India.He can’t be, because he is poor.

A man proud to serve his country, despite having met such a gross injustice, has full right to speak truth. Being a spy and serve one's nation is not a shame. The spies for Pakistan serving in India should be met with similar injustice or ordeal, so that their families and country men speak for them. India government should immediately and expressly release all spies or suspected ones who are languishing in our jails for the last 14 years or longer, as they have already served more than a life sentence. If we have none, then it would be a fitting argument to show to the world about 'great' nation of Pakistan, which is already famous for 'peace' and 'nonviolence'.

All Indians have to be proud of Mr Kashmiri Sing as he is a great citizen of India. However, this incident shows our goverment's lack of vision and caring for it's citizens. After assigning duty,our government should have taken care of his family and the efforts should have made to rescue him from the Pak jail. It is ridiculous. Just think if Mr Sing was a U.S citizen... how they would have taken care of his family. This should be an eye opener for our government authorities in future. When we look back to the history of India we find that we Indians were always opportunists in everything we do... that is why Britishers ruled India for many centuries. Can we learn the lesson from this and change our out look?

..... This was the high time for the family of Kashmir Singh, the name we have hardly heard before , but there are thousand stories lying beneath the calm carpet. Here is the One. Kashmir Singh.The unsong Hero of the nation who sacrificed the thirty five years of his life in the jail. Nation should respect the perons with such a passion for the country....

It may be true that Kashmir Singh was a spy. Our government should have taken care of his family and it is a gross injustice that it had not done so. But that won't justify Kashmir's statement in public that he was a spy. This would endanger the lives of other Indian prisoners languishing in Pak jails. Henceforth no one would get a chance to walk out of the prisons. Atleast Kashmir has walked free now. But think of the others who have lost their chances of becoming free because of Kashmir's statement. By endangering the lives of others, Kashmir has only lost his moral right to point his fingers at others.

Tue that he has undergone lot of misery during his jail term at Pakistan! May also be true he would have been a spy ! But then, he should not have said about this in the press and public speeches. I do not think, there is no proof he can produce that he was a spy. Assuming that he was spy by the then governmnet, then he could have approached the right authority in the government to help him for the future. Exposing spy concept like this for himself or to the government is not correct. However, we feel sorry for his sufferings and the government has to come out to help and his family .

It is heartening to know the long years Kashmir Singh has spend in Pak jail. His hope and courage kept him live all through these difficult periods. But what the Government of India has done? Our government and MP’s in parliament have only time to fight each other and get special benefits for themselves. Who care about the nation and the people like Kashmir Singh who devote their life for the country. I feel ashamed of the Indian Government, the MP’s and the political parties. The government should take immediate steps to put a plan to help the jawans who sacrifice their lives for the country and those who are missing in action. Also government should take all possible steps to exchange prisoners and bring back those who are languishing in Pak jails.

Some bloggers are saying that he shouldn't have said that he was a spy..but i dont see any wrong in him divulging the secret. if burney was not knowing this, then he is a fool. As a spy also, 35 years is too much.. Pakistan should start looking at its judicial system.He should be treated as a hero as he endured so much for India.

With our hearts full of emotions and our eyes full of tears, we salute you, Kashmira Singh and your devoted wife Paramjeet Kaur, in absolute Awe and Reverence. May God give you a very long life so that your family and you can spend many happy years together to enable you all to recoup all that you have lost for 35 long years.

We read a different version of what he said at the press club in Chandigarh. you write: "Only I can say that I am a firm believer of God and even offered namaz and kept roza (fast) in the Pakistani jails," he said. In the Tribuneindia from chandigarh we read he said, " he did this in line of duty meaning he became a muslim and learned the quorn and stuff. What you are writing is defferent. Don't understand the motive, either you are alarming the authorities to make sure they keep a check on him, or you want to defame him? please check other news papers before publishing some thing of this nature.
