Rehman Chishti
With regard to any specific notes, they will be dealt with in accordance with procedure.
Patrick Grady (Glasgow North) (Ind)
A great many worshippers at the Guru Nanak Sikh temple on Otago Street in Glasgow North have signed a petition calling for Jaggi’s release. Will the Minister confirm that, if Jagtar was in the UK and the Indian Government wanted to extradite him, that would not be possible because of the threat of a death sentence? So why should he be threatened with capital punishment after being arbitrarily detained on the streets of India?
Rehman Chishti
I did not quite hear the hon. Member’s question, so I will take it away and get him a full answer.
