Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his deputy Sukhbir Singh Badal will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday, in connection with the death row convict Devinderpal Singh Bhullar case.

"Both Badals will meet the Prime Minister to seek commutation of death sentence of Bullar to life imprisonment," H S Bains political advisor on national affairs to Badal said in Chandigarh.

Earlier, Akal Takth, the top temporal seat of Sikhs, had directed SGPC, known to be mini parliament of Sikhs, to ensure measures to save Bhullar from gallows.

Badal too had been maintaining that Bhuller's death penalty be reverted to life imprisonment.
