Salman Khan all set to go to Pakistan for freeing Sarabjit Singh

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan recently appealed to Pakistan for the release of Sarabjit Singh, who is on his death row in Lahore jail for the past over 22 years, and he has no plans to back off because he is now planning to go to Pakistan to secure the release of Singh.

The 46-year-old, who has always been known for his friendly gestures and countless acts of charity, has told Sarabjit’s sister Dalbir Kaur and daughter Swapandeep that he will stay with them till the end and he will even go to Pakistan to bring their family member back.

Swapandeep told TOI, “Salman has told us that he will be with us till the time my father does not come back from Pakistan. He has also told us that if need arises he will go to Pakistan to request freedom freedom for my father.”

Khan, who will be seen on the big screen with his ex-flame Katrina Kaif on August 15 in Kabir Khan’s upcoming film ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, has already launched an online petition in order to seek support for Sarabjit’s release. In his petition, Salman has requested Pakistani government, media and people to consider Sarabjit’s case seriously.

The actor in his petition has said, “For over 20 years, Sarabjit Singh is in a Pakistan prison for a crime he did not commit. He and his family have suffered for too long. Please sign this petition to appeal to the Pakistan government that he be freed and united with his family in Punjab.”

Initial reports from Pakistan stated that an Indian prison Sarabjit Singh is being released as President Zardari has granted him pardon but later on it was clarified that the actual prison being released is Surjeet Singh.

However, Sarabjit’s sister doesn’t believe that there was any confusion when Surjeet was released instead of her brother.

She said, “I don’t buy this theory of Pakistan. I know the order for my brother’s release from Pakistani jail has been done but they are executing it.”

Well, all said and done, it is certainly a great jester from Salman Khan but let’s see if he gets any response from Pakistan’s government.
