Press Council of India Chairman Justice Markandey Katju  is back in the news.

On the basis of a request by Katju, a member of the Pakistani Press Council has begun efforts to set up a committee and start a movement for the release of
Sarabjit Singh jailed in a Pakistani prison. 

In a letter written to Katju today, Pakistan Press Council member Syed Faseih Iqbal said that convinced by Katju's viewpoint he had written to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan about launching a movement for Sarabjit's release. 

"I have noted your standpoint on Sarabjit Singh's imprisonment and agree with your observation that people on both sides of the border generally land in trouble due to their country of origin, not an original fault of theirs," Iqbal said. 

"I have therefore personally written to Mr I A Rehman, Secretary General of Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, for his immediate consideration to the possibility of setting up the Committee and launching a movement for release of Sarabjit Singh," he added.
