India appeals to Saudi Arabia
NEW DELHI:
India on Thursday requested the Saudi Government to take into consideration the sensitivities involved and sympathetically view the case of a Keralite jailed in that country who would lose his eye if a court verdict there was carried out.
A Shariat court in Saudi Arabia has ordered that an eye of Naushad (33), who hails from Anchal in Kollam district, be gouged out as punishment for causing a Saudi to lose an eye during a scuffle.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was apprised of the case by Minister of State for External Affairs E. Ahamed and Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran. Mr. Ahamed and Mr. Saran later had a meeting with Saudi Ambassador to India Saleh Mohd. Al-Ghamdi, sources said. — PTI
