Support me to help free Sarabjit, Salman urges Pakistanis
"Requesting the people of Pakistan to support me to help free Sarabjit, who has been in prison since 30 yrs. Please. Allah ka vasta (for god's sake)," Salman tweeted.
"Request the awam (people) of Pakistan, members of the press, Govt of Pakistan, President (Asif Ali Zardari) Zardari, a humble request. It would be the most amazing gesture to send Sarabjit back to his family after 30 years. Hope you support me like it's your own cause," he added.
Hours after reports emerged that Pakistan was to free Sarabjit, the officials clarified that another Indian prisoner named Surjeet Singh, who has been in jail for three decades, would be released instead. The change of stance created a stir across India.
The actor was upset after he saw Sarabjit's family in despair.
"I saw a picture of Sarabjit's sister, it killed me. Felt real sad for her. Help me, help her," he tweeted further.

@Akhtar
Has India ever honored this kind gesture of Pakistan, releasing Indians from its prisons? No never.
I hope you do not consider 1972 beyond NEVER.
India released more than 90,000 POWs. How good are you at counting?
If Pakistan releases Singh, the point is would India release any Pakistani from their prisons? Secondly, Has India ever honored this kind gesture of Pakistan, releasing Indians from its prisons? No never.
Mind your business dude; keep your Being Human tag up to you. A statement to win sympathies of shiv-sena!

Keep this Spy in Jail for life. We Pakistanis don't want a Raymond Davis type Topi Drama.

@Nadeem: Please support the right thing. If justice did not serve in 30 years. it will never be served.Let the poor guy go.
He has served 30 years in jail and completed his sentence. We can now have mecry on him as a human-being and show compassion. May Allah (SWT) have mercy on all of us and guide us.
Sarbjeet is the guilty of spying, let the justice served.
