Sarabjit Singh to be released within week: Sherry Rehman

[JanjaWeed]

Washington: Pakistan Ambassador to the United States said on Saturday that Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh would be released within a week.

While chatting with an Indian journalist, Rehman tweeted on micro-bogging social website that bilateral relations between India and Pakistan would be back on track after Singh’s release.

However, Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik denied any such news.

Singh, imprisoned since Oct 1985 after being handed down death sentence under the Army Act, had submitted his mercy petition to the army chief but he rejected it, directing to forward it to President of Pakistan.

The president downed Singh’s death sentence to life term under a general amnesty granted to all condemned prisoners.

Since December, 1988, he is being treated as a lifer.

Singh’s sentence expired on Oct 30, 2010, and in the light of GHQ directions his mercy petition was referred to the president but there was no progress on the plea, a jail officer said.

He need to released.

Why is he being released. he is a known RAW terrorist. His assignment was to blow bombs in Pakistani cities. Today India talks about Ajmal Kasaab as if no Indian crossed the border to commit terrorism in Pakistan.

There is no reason for him being released. he has blood on his hands and our blood is no cheaper than other human being in the world. Let this be known to everyone.

If the govt. wants to release him, it should make it public what was he doing in Pakistan, why was he detained and charged and what assignment was given to him by RAW. He is another Kashmir Singh. When he went back to India, he confessed the charges against him were valid. RAW's terrorism in Pakistan is well known and its not established now, they have been doing this in East Pakistan as well.

^^^^
Because India released your Dr. Khalil Chisti who committed murder in India, even though Sarabjit was falsely accused.

Sherry Rehman's tweet says Surjeet Singh is being released, not Sarabjeet Singh. The news tribe guys are misreporting it.

Surjeet Singh has been in Pak's jails for the last 36+ years. Sarabjeet Singh was arrested after 1990(22+ years).

Why is this bastard still alive?

He is a terrorist... and India have killed hundreds of Pakistani war prisoners in custody.

India is en-cashing their puppet regime in Pakistan to fullest.

 

[American Pakistani]

If PPP release sarabjeet who was a terrorist of RAW than it will be another shock for them & their chances in upcoming elections will go further down.

sarabjeet terrorist should rot in jails of Pakistan till he lives.

 

[BATMAN]

^^ Forget about elections.... PPP and noon league has won all by elections and this is enough for them to justify rigging in coming elections.

Next elections will be a mutual agreement among PPP, noon league, ANP etc.

Those who expect fairness and honesty out of Zardari and Gillani are delusional.
