Pakistani file plea to prove Bhagat Singh innocent

Plea in Pakistan to prove Bhagat Singh’s innocence
PTI | Apr 11, 2013, 05.44 AM IS

LAHORE: Eight decades after Bhagat Singh's execution by the British, a petition has been filed in a Pakistani court seeking the reopening of the freedom fighter's case so that he can be declared innocent. Imtiaz Rasheed Qureshi of the Save The Judiciary Committee filed the petition in the Lahore high court. He said Bhagat Singh, who was sentenced to death by the British government and hanged in Lahore in March 1931, was a freedom fighter of the subcontinent.

"Singh was first given life imprisonment but later awarded death sentence. He was convicted in a fake case," Qureshi said in his petition. Singh was respected by Sikhs and Muslims alike and Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah too had paid tribute to the freedom fighter in the erstwhile Central Legislative Assembly, Qureshi said. "I therefore request the court to reopen the case and declare him innocent," he said.

Its good to know there is a Pakistani whose blood boil for freedom fighters who fought for independence of our lands. I hope his effort wouldn't be misused and tagged with insurgency in J&K.
 
what in your opinion will be sane?

filing a plea that he was a terrorist?

It is stupid because the institution that sentenced them to death for being terrorists no longer exists...besides we don't need approval from any one to tell us that they were not terrorists...they are our freedom fighters and our heroes...
