India urges Pakistan to grant clemency to Sarabjit

On demand that Sarabjit Singh be saved from the gallows in Pakistan, the Government of India on Tuesday asked Islamabad to grant clemency to the Indian national on humanitarian grounds.

Making a suo motu statement in the Lok Sabha in the wake of media reports that 'death warrant' has been issued against Sarabjit Singh, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said the government has no formal intimation from the Pakistan government about it and New Delhi has sought details from Islamabad in this regard.
"According to press reports, the black warrant has been issued and the sentence will be carried out on April one," Mukherjee said about Sarabjit, who is facing death sentence for allegedly carrying out bomb blasts in Pakistan in 1990.
