Some people asked me whether i will make an appeal for pardon to Sadhvi Pragya to the President/ Governor.
I have repeatedly asked such people requesting me to make an appeal for pardon to Sadhvi Pragya to send me the material in her case e.g. the FIR, statements of witnesses, etc so that I can study the same, but nobody has responded. Such people can contact her lawyer and get these and send them to me on my email id mark_katju@yahoo.co.in, but I am quite sure they will not make this effort, and only pretend to be concerned about her. But then again, I may be wrong..
Unless I have the material and study it I can do nothing. I do not issue appeals for pardon lightly. I issue such appeals only after careful consideration of the material, and after being satisfied that such an appeal is called for, and I will certainly do so for Sadhvi Pragya if satisfied after studying the material that she deserves pardon.
. In Zaibunnisa's case, her daughter Shagufta gave me the material, and in all other cases where I issued such an appeal, it was done only after careful consideration of the material.
