Salman Khan pleads for Sarabjit’s release

Salman Khan has urged the people of Pakistan and it’s goverment to help him in efforts to free Sarabjit Singh, the Indian who is on death row in the neighbouring country.

“Requesting the people of Pakistan to support me to help free Sarabjit, who has been in prison since 30 years. Please. Allah ka vasta” Salman tweeted.

“Request the awam (people) of Pakistan, members of the press, Government of Pakistan, President (Asif Ali) Zardari, a humble request. It would be the most amazing gesture to send Sarabjit back to his family after 30 years. Hope you support me like it’s your own cause,” the actor added.

The actor was upset after he saw Sarabjit’s family in dispair “I saw a picture of Sarabjit’s sister, it killed me. Felt real sad for her. Help me, help her”

Initially the media reported that Pakistan was to free Sarabjit Singh, but later the Pakistan government clarified that another Indian prisoner named Surjeet Singh, who has been in jail for more than 30 years, would be released instead. The change of stance created a furore in the Indian media and social networking sites like Twitter.
