Patil: how can Afzal be hanged when we want Sarabjit back?

LATUR: How could the demand be made for hanging Afzal Guru, the prisoner convicted in the Parliament attack case, when the government had been pressing for clemency for Sarabjit Singh on death row in Pakistan? Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said here on Tuesday.

“You want Afzal Guru to be hanged. [At the same time] you are saying don’t hang a person who has gone to Pakistan [Sarabjit],” Mr. Patil told reporters.

“These people want others to be hanged. What are you doing? You are saying don’t hang that person [Sarabjit] and you say hang this person [Afzal] here,” Mr. Patil said and added that law would take its own course.

Afzal’s clemency plea is pending with the government. — PTI
