Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has urged the people of Pakistan 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 yrs. Please. Allah ka vasta (for god’s sake),” Salman Khan tweeted.
“Request the awam (people) of Pakistan, members of the press, Govt of Pakistan, President (Asif Ali Zardari) 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,” he 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,” he tweeted further.
Meanwhile The Punjab Assembly has passed a resolution demanding the release of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh and others who are currently in Pakistani jails even after completing their jail terms.
The resolution was moved by Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
