Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has launched an internet petition seeking the discharge of Sarabjit Singh, an Indian on death row in Pakistan.
"To people from around the world. Thanx to your support.
Sign the web petition in support of Sarabjit's release...," tweeted Salman on Saturday.
The petition already has 9,68,000 likes after we last checked.
On Friday, in an emotional tweet the actor had appealed to the folk of Pakistan to support him in efforts to free Sarabjit.
Pakistan on Thursday released Indian prisoner Surjeet Singh. Earlier, reports had said that Pakistan was to free Sarabjit Singh, but later Islamabad clarified that it was another Indian prisoner named Surjeet Singh.
"Request the awam (people) of Pakistan, members of the press, Govt of Pakistan, President (Asif Ali Zardari) Zardari, a humble request. It'd be probably the most amazing gesture to send Sarabjit back to his family after 30 years. Hope you support me like it is your own cause," tweeted Salman Friday.
