Burney says case against Sarabjit weak
**NEW DELHI April 22: Former Pakistan Human Rights Minister and activists Ansar Burney has said that Sarabjit Singh's case is very weak and suspicious.**
In an interview to a television news channel, Burney said that law has not taken in the Sarabjit case. According to Burney, Sarabjit can’t be executed as three review petitions are still before the apex court to consider.
Burney said that one cannot punish a man just because he is an Indian and a non-Muslim.
Meanwhile, India is waiting to see whether Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf will agree to pardon Sarabjit’s life. The government has at least twice pleaded for clemency for Sarabjit, who is on a death row in Pakistani prison, on charges of being involved in serial bomb blasts in that country killing at least 14.
In less than two weeks, the man accused by Pakistan of being a terrorist, but seen by India as being innocent is meant to be hanged. So far, Indian diplomats have been feverishly working to save his life.
