The assault on Sarabjit Singh in a jail in Lahore resulted from a serious lapse in security. The government of Pakistan should take full responsibility for the slip. India’s ministry of external affairs should also be blamed for its failure to bring back Singh to the country while he was alive. Though the prime minister has announced an ex-gratiapayment of Rs 25 lakh to Singh’s family, the money can hardly compensate for the loss of life. The government should step up the diplomatic pressure on Pakistan.
