"I appeal to Musharraf sahib to reconsider his decision of rejecting Sarabjit's clemency petition," Kaur said outside the Pakistan High Commission.
Kaur, who met political leaders today including Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Railway Minister Lalu Prasad and External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, went to Pakistan High Commission to submit her appeal to Musharraf.
"I have requested Musharraf sahib to show some leniency towards my brother and allow us to meet him," she said, adding ‘Sarabjit's daughters are very much disturbed with the news of death warrant against their father’.
Officials at the High Commission assured Kaur that they will convey her request letter to Pakistani President.
Sarabjit has been sentenced to death for his alleged involvement in the 1990 bomb blasts in Lahore and Multan that claimed 14 lives.

The death penalty is the ultimate, irreversible denial of human rights. By working towards the abolition of the death penalty worldwide, Amnesty International's Death Penalty Abolition Campaign looks to end the cycle of violence created by a system riddled with economic, racial and religious bias and tainted by human error. Please join them in taking action against the death penalty. Around 135 countries have abolished the death penalty in law or practice. On average, in the past decade more than three countries a year have abolished the death penalty for all crimes. Despite international human rights standards, some nations still execute people. Around the world, the death penalty is used as a tool of political repression and a means to forever silence political opponents. In 2006, 91 per cent of all known executions took place in six countries: China, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Sudan and the USA.
If India and Pakistan sincerely wish to move towards peace, friendship, cooperation and détente, they should adopt a more humane approach to issues that were previously treated only in their politico-legal context. The most important of these are the cases of hundreds of citizens who are taken prisoner by the other government for various reasons such as overstaying, straying into alien territory, fishing in the territorial waters of the other and even suspected or alleged spying. Although their crimes are usually not of very grave nature, these prisoners end up languishing in jails away from their home country for years. The home secretaries of India and Pakistan have agreed time and again on the release of these prisoners to strengthen amity and goodwill. Now that a start was made with the release of Kashmir Singh, all the prisoners, especially those who have been in prisons for a long long time should be released on humanitarian grounds, for Ishwar Allah’s sake.
