Bhullar’s wife now seeks Canada’s help
AMRITSAR: Death row convict Devinderpal Singh Bhullar's wife Navneet Kaur has now approached the Canadian embassy officials in New Delhi for help. Kaur, who is a Canadian citizen, had earlier met the German embassy officials and requested them to intervene to save his life by seeking life instead of death.
"We all are making efforts to save a man, who has lost touch with reality. It will be unfair if he is executed," Kaur told TOI on phone from New Delhi. Kaur had earlier stated that she would move the Supreme Court and also seek a fresh presidential review of Bhullar's mercy plea.
On Wednesday, Kaur had met the officials at the German embassy and had requested intervention by the German government. Bhullar had fled to Germany in 1993 after the car bombing but was deported in 1995.
Kaur also said that she met Bhullar in hospital on Saturday also but was not allowed to take food for her husband.
Meanwhile, jathedar of Akal Takht, the supreme temporal seat of the Sikhs, Gurbachan Singh on Saturday asked Sikhs around the globe to offer 'ardas' (prayer of supplication) for the release of Bhullar even as a march was taken out in Amritsar in support of the militant.
Gurbachan Singh said that he was sure that the movement initiated by Sikh bodies around the world for the commutation of Bhullar's death sentence into life and his early release would be successful.
"Waheguru will surely answer the prayers of the Sikhs," said Singh. He added that a delegation of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has also submitted a mercy petition to the president, urging clemency for Bhullar.
