Eye For An Eye: MYC wants Sarabjit hanged

ISLAMABAD: In retaliation to execution of Afzal Guru, Milli Yekjehti Council (MYC) on Wednesday demanded the execution of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh, whose appeal for amnesty remains pending with the president.

The decision was announced by MYC, a consortium of politico-religious parties and groups, after the meeting of its Khutbaat-e-Juma Commission (KJC).

The meeting was attended by Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Jamaatud Dawa (JuD), Jamiat-e-Ulema-Pakistan (JUP), Shia Ulema Council and Jamaat Ahle Hadees.

The KJC decided to pay a nationwide tribute to Guru and the struggle for independence by Indian Kashmir next week on Friday.
