Multan: Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday demanded the Pakistani government to execute the Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh in retaliation of the execution of the lone Mumbai attacker, Ajmal Kasab, in India.
Ajmal Kasab was the lone survivor of the militant squad, consisting of 10 militants, responsible for a rampage through Mumbai that killed 166 people in 2008.
In a demonstration organized by the party in Multan, PTI leader Naeemullah Khan said, “India waited for less than a month after the final verdict by their judiciary and we are protecting the terrorists for the last eight years.”
Blaming the Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, he said that the president was the biggest hurdle to execution of terrorists on death row in the country.
Sarabjit Singh has been on death row for over two decades. India and Sarabjit’s family maintains that he is innocent who happened to stray over the international border in an ebriated state and his was a case of mistaken identity.
