Kaur, who is camping in the Holy City since last night, has been looking for actor’s address and telephone number and other ways to approach him. Her niece Swapandeep, Sarabjit’s daughter, too has been trying to locate Khan’s address on the internet, but to no avail. “It is a tough job, but we will try to contact him. He can help us to save papa,” she said.
Kaur said the release of Kashmir Singh had rekindled her hopes, but they have now been dashed. She criticised the Indian government for failing to pursue her brother’s case effectively. “Khan enjoys a huge fan following in India as well as Pakistan and he can motivate people in both the countries to work towards Sarabjit’s release,” said Kaur.
She claimed that earlier too, Shah Rukh had evinced interest in her brother’s campaign. “Khan had promised to come over to Bhikhiwind with his colleagues to greet Sarabjit when he returns home from Pakistan, which shows that he regards our struggle and might come forward to help secure his release,” she said. Meanwhile, Kaur plans to leave for Delhi tonight to meet Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and other senior leaders in yet another bid to save her brother. “I will submit the appeal and give all proofs of his identity. My brother is innocent and I will continue to fight for him,” she said in a choked voice.
