Salman Khan meets Sarabjit's sister, daughters

Mumbai: Bollywood star Salman Khan has been busy voicing his angst about the current state of affairs of the country on Twitter.

The actor had also begun an online campaign urging people to sign a petition to free the falsely accused Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh, currently languishing in Kot Lakpat jail in Lahore.

Apparently, Sarabjit's sister and his daughters met Salman on the sets of 'Dabangg 2' seeking his support.

Talking to reporters, a source said, "Today, Sarabjit's sister and daughters had come to meet Salman. They met him on the sets of Dabangg 2 at Mehboob Studio."

Sarabjit's sister Dalbir Kaur is actively working towards the release of Sarabjit. Sarabjit, who is married to Sukhpreet Kaur, has two daughters-- Poonam and Swapnadeep.

The star plans to hand the petition to the Pakistan government to secure the release of Sarabjit, who has been on death row in Lahore jail since 1990.

Salman had earlier tweeted, "Requesting the people of Pakistan to support me to help free Sarabjit who has been in prison since 30 yrs . Please..Allah ka vasta (sic)."

"It would be the most amazing gesture, to send Sarabjit back to his family after 30 years . Hope u support me like it's your own cause. B a part of 1 family's happiness. Wanted to tweet this for the longest time, saw a pic of Sarabjit's sister, it killed me. Felt really sad for her. Help me help her. Its a personal request to all of u in Pakistan to send Sarabjit back to his family in Punjab. Hope u find it in your hearts to help and to people from all over the world. Thx for your support. Am planning an online petition (sic)," Salman added.

Respect for Sallu!!

Its only a lil gesture and doesn't take any time, but how many celebrities actually bother with it?

Has Sallu matured? Only time will tell, but this is praiseworthy because he has absolutely nothing to gain from this.

i like salman khan,but if he is requesting the pakistani to help him release sarabjit he should also request the indien goverment that they should release pakitani prisoner from india.take with one hand and also give with the other.

Never been a Salman fan but I def have more respect for him after this! Good work Salman!

^^ Sarabjit is accused of spying, Salman plays a spy in ETT, got the connection, its all a publicity stunt.

So he does something good and you have to bring in stupib publicity stunts. He doesn't need publicity stunts after being the most followed celeb in India with one of the largest fan followings in Asia.

Why now? This case has been in news since ages. Now don't tell me Salman had no idea about this all this while, and he just stumbled on it or rather his conscience stirred up just at the time of ETT's release

He probably got the idea from Aamir.

Well actually it wasn't that long ago when Sarabjit's news came on the news channels, 26th June to be exact. And today its 2 July which means 6 days. And being a star with such a hectic schedule he took the time to ask people to support Sarabjeet's family on internet first and then even payed a visit, in only 6 days.. That's a quite big thing but unfortunately people always tend to prefer taking things the negative way rather than positive.

^^ Nope. Sarabjit's case has been in news much longer, on & off, both in print and electronic media. Salman chose to react to it now raises few Qs, with ETT round the corner, ppl will doubt his motive
