New Delhi (PTI): Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said when Government has been pressing for clemency for Sarabjit Singh facing death sentence in Pakistan, how can the demand be made for the hanging of Afzal Guru, condemned prisoner in Parliament attack.

"You want Afzal Guru to be hanged. (At the same time) you are saying that don't hang a person who has gone to Pakistan (Singh)," Patil told reporters in Latur on Tuesday.

"These people want others to be hanged. What are you doing? You are saying don't hang that person (Singh) and you say hang this person (Guru) here," Patil said and added that law would take its own course.

Guru was sentenced to death by Supreme Court for being involved in the criminal conspiracy to attack Parliament on December 13, 2001. His clemency plea is pending with the Government.
