New Delhi, March 20: Government on Thursday said that no Pakistani prisoner would be released in exchange of Sarabjit Singh, who is on death row in that country.

“We have appealed to the Pakistani government and we hope that Pakistan will hear our appeal. Nobody will be released in exchange,” Minister of State for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal said.

President Pervez Musharraf yesterday deferred the execution of Sarabjit fixed for April one by 30 days after the Indian government made a formal appeal for clemency on Wednesday.

Sarabjit was sentenced to death in 1991 for his alleged involvement in four bomb blasts in Lahore and Multan that killed 14 people. His family denies he is a spy as claimed by Pakistan and insists he accidentally strayed into Pakistani territory.

why not by vishal on 24 Mar 2008

If terrorists can be released to secure the release of Mufti mohhamed syeed's daughter why can't some be released to save Sarabjit ? Oh and by the way the person named Crusader is a hatemonger zingoistic, xenophobic, bigotted moron !!!!

CAN MUSLIMS EVER BE TRUSTED? by Crusader on 21 Mar 2008

Indian express Opinion Poll - Results Should India ask Musharraf to spare Sarabjit the gallows? Yes 80.8% No 14.4% Can't Say 4.8% Should India pardon Afzal Guru if Pak makes a similar demand? Yes 14.7% No 83% Can't Say 2.3% AND MUSLIM POPULATION IN INDIA IS AROUND 15%. IT IS JUST COINCIDENCE OR ARE WE LIVING WITH 15% TRAITORS? INDIAN MUSLIMS INVITED MUHAMMAD BIN-KASIM TO KILL HINDUS IN SINDH, INDIAN MUSLIMS VOTED AND CREATED PAKISTAN, INDIAN MUSLIMS SUPPORT TERRORISTS LIKE AFZAL AND THEY ARE INTEGRAL PART OF ISLAMIC TERRORISM. CAN MUSLIMS EVER BE TRUSTED? WE NEED MODI AND TOGADIA IN EVERY FAMILY TO SAVE INDIA FROM DESCENDANTS OF BIN-KASIM, GORI, GAJNI, BABUR AND AURANGJEB.

Release the Evidence for review. by nitin roshan on 21 Mar 2008

If the release issue is vexing and suspicious, then the evidence incriminating the person should kindly be released for the requesting and aggreaved party, in keeping with good spirit and honest legal scrutiny of duly lawful decisions. This is the least that is expected to prevent false punishment of any innocent under any circumstances.

No need to by Syed Zainulabedin on 20 Mar 2008

No need to release any pakistani prisoner nor begging for the release of Sarbajit Singh this should be the policy of the government. Sarabjit Singh was terrorist and convicted by the court of another country and let him pay the price for his crime.

Be tough while dealing with Pakistan by P.P. TALWAR on 20 Mar 2008

Our government is absolutely right in stating that no Pakistani prisoner will be released by India in exchange of Indian Sarabjit Singh languishing in Pakistani jail. Indian government should be firm and tough while negotiating with Pakistan to avoid any black-mailing by Pakistan.

Incompetence Prevails in Delhi by Jatin Patel on 20 Mar 2008

Foolish politicians...did not wage war against parliament attackers, Kargil masterminds and are not interested in resolving PoK and CoK in India's favor. It is waste of Indian resources to have governments like these. Shame on Congress and BJP to call themselves democratic parties. Let every Indian know that incompetent Congress now is not able to start a war with Pakistan for its innocent citizen Sarabjit, who will be hanged by babur, ghori and taghlut glorifiers. Utter disgrace...These political mafias can sacrifice Sarabjit and lives of armymen to keep their dirty ass to Delhi Power....what to say???
