The death sentence for Indian national Sarabjit Singh has disturbed every Indian and Pakistani with a human heart. Sarabjit has spent 17 long years in Pakistani jails and the Indian Government and many common Indian citizens have appealed to Pakistan for mercy for Sarabjit on humanitarian ground. Should Islamabad heed to these voices and pardon Sarabjit or at least commute his sentence? Or will Sarabjit fall prey to Indo-Pak diplomatic wranglings? Pakistani human rights activist Asma Jahangir will address these questions in an online chat at 6:00 pm on Thursday. Post your questions now.
