EYE FOR AN EYE - is this right?

(Sarabjit Singh & Sanaullah Haq)

Mournfully, Indian death row prisoner Sarabjit Singh breathed the last time around 12-45 a.m. on Thursday at Lahore's Jinnah Hospital where he had been on life-support since April 26 after being brutally attacked in Kot Lakhpat Jail by fellow inmates.

Furthermore, news of his death broke soon after though there was no official announcement. Details of his death were sketchy. It appears he was taken off the ventilator after his condition worsened towards the middle of the night. In fact, Security was beefed up around the hospital and the mortuary soon after television channels began reporting his death.

As a matter of fact, Sarabjit had suffered critical head injuries and had slipped into coma soon after admission to the Jinnah Hospital last Friday. Hours before his death, diplomatic sources had indicated that Pakistan was “positively considering'' his send back to India while his family had returned to India on Wednesday morning after spending three days with him in Lahore.

Likewise, Sanaullah Haq, a Pakistani prisoner who was badly beaten in Jammu and Kashmir's Kotbawal jail last week in apparent revenge for the fatal attack on India's Sarabjit Singh in Pakistan expired in a hospital in Chandigarh on Thursday, according to the television channels.

Sanaullah Haq was violently attacked by a fellow inmate a day after the death of Singh, who had been convicted of spying and bomb blasts in Pakistan and was attacked in a Lahore jail in April.

Now, coming to the reality of it the whole episode seems to be on similar lines. On the contrary, why can't we realize the hidden reality that this Eye for an Eye strategy is not healthy for humanity, furthermore, like how Sarabjit has family likewise Sanullah has the same so where the difference lies? Is it in our perspective? Yes, its because we want this delicate and mournful issue to turn into rage wherein both the nations could exhibit their worst figures accompanying brutal actions. That's pathetic!

These are more of Political pleasure injected in humanity and brought up while creating differences between common people living in country and unknowingly building

HATRED…Irrespecitve of Religion, Caste, Gender, is it the right way to think?  Is it Eye for an Eye? 

While furthering ourselves into the core of another mournful reality, that when media on our side spoke on the Sarabjit's killing presenting intense fury, on the same line of action Pak media went on writing about Sanaullah Haq's killing while blaming India. Finally, both are rigourously playing a blame game on each other!

Furthermore, while we read through these news sites we get to feel the intense hatred both have developed for each other while they are on their motive to excel on it, that they have left humanity making it a thing of the past.

As a concluding part, these shameful chapter have not yet closed even-though both Sarabjit and Sanaullah have left us forever.

Why cant we have a sympathy atleast on their soul by wishing them to rest in peace, orelse they won't get peace even there also! That's disgraceful!

Today, humanity has transformed into brutality while gaining domination of violence as a desire for revenge!

Finally, no one is a winner out here!
