Appeal to Sonia for clemency

JALANDHAR: Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee president Paramjit Singh Sarna has written to United Progressive Alliance chairperson Sonia Gandhi to get Prof Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar's death sentence commuted by the government following rejection of his mercy petition by the President of India. 

In a letter to her, Sarna has argued that in the national interest, this will be a gesture of goodwill to the entire Sikh community. "Through this act of forgiveness, all sides can forgive and forget the unfortunate chapter of militancy in Punjab," he has said.
