Indo-Pak broke protocol for 12-year-old child, child from Pakistan returned after heart surgery; Father said - India won hearts

Islamabad; There is hardly any day after the removal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, when there have been no reports of firing between India and Pakistan. But last week, the government of India and Pakistan on the Attari border broke all protocols for a 12-year-old boy. All hostility is forgotten. In fact, 12-year-old Sabih Shiraz from Pakistan visited JP Hospital in Noida last month for heart surgery. Sabih lives in Karachi, reaching Noida on 18 February with his parents. The same surgery took place on 25 February. Till March 16, Sabih was kept in hospital for observation. On 18 March, Sabih was discharged from Jaypee Hospital. The trio then reached the attic border from the hospital. But Sabih and his family had to face many difficulties in reaching Pakistan from Attari.

Sabih's father Shiraz Arshad requested a lot of Indian immigration officials to go across the border (Pakistan), but could not succeed. Shiraz told Bhaskar, 'I sought a lot of help from the authorities to cross the border. I also told him about my son's heart surgery, but he did not listen to me one thing. Because, Pakistani authorities refused to send 40 Kashmiri girls to India.

The Indian security officer present at the Attari border suggested Shiraz to talk to the immigration authorities of Pakistan, but it could not be made there either. Meanwhile, Shiraz somehow talked to a Pakistani journalist and told him his personal opinion. The Pakistani journalist then spoke to Ravinder Singh Robin, a journalist from Amritsar, and requested him to help Sabih and his family. Ravinder also reached the Attari border after that, but by then the immigration officer had left. Ravinder then took Sabih and his family to Amritsar and arranged for his stay there at his home.

The next day Ravinder spoke to the Indian authorities to help the family of Sabih stranded on the Attari border. On the other hand, Pakistani journalist also spoke to Pakistan Foreign Secretary Sohail Mahmood about Sabih. The Pakistan Foreign Ministry then directed the Delhi High Commission in Delhi to immediately contact the Indian authorities for the return of the Pakistani family. On the request of the Pakistani High Commission, Indian authorities issued a special pass for Sabih and her family to cross the border.

Family said- We got love and support from everyone in India

Shiraz Arshad (Sabih's father) told Bhaskar over the phone, "When we reached the rest house (Ravinder's house) on Thursday night (March 19), we got a call from the Pakistan High Commission in India and said that tomorrow afternoon you will get the attic border. To reach. The next day when we reached the Attari border, the Indian authorities sent us across the border with protocol. ' Shiraz also thanked Ravinder and Indian officials for helping him through difficult times. He said, 'We were very worried. But due to the mutual cooperation between the Indian and Pakistani authorities, we were able to visit our home. I am grateful to everyone. The doctors, paramedical staff and hospital management treated us very well. We stayed in India for 20 days and we got love and cooperation from everyone here. India is a great nation. They have won our heart. '
