<p>Actor and MP Jaya Prada along with expelled Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh known for his film contacts, met Maharashtra Governor K Sankaranarayan at Raj Bhavan here on Tuesday, with a request seeking pardon for actor Sanjay Dutt who has been asked to complete his five-year sentence by the Supreme Court in a case of possessing banned fire arms.<br /><br /></p>.<p>After the meeting, Amar Singh made it clear to media persons that he had not come at the instance of Sanjay Dutt "but I had to deliver the letter written by Sevagram inmates in Wardha. This was written before the Supreme Court verdict and I thought it was important that I play the role of postman. I simply handed over the letter to the Governor who heard us. We did not comment on SC. We welcome the SC verdict.”<br /><br />Asked if he had also sought pardon for 70-year-old convict Zaibunissa Kazi, Singh said “let me tell you the truth, I have not pleaded for her. If I make a plea for Sanjay, he wouldn’t mind. His father Sunil Dutt was my friend, and since Sanjay is a friend, I could do this. if someone from her (Zaibunissa’s) family had contacted me, I would have also helped her. I have my sympathies for her.” Prior to meeting Governor, both Jaya Prada and Singh spent a couple of minutes at Dutt’s residence.<br /><br />Jaya Prada said that “Sanjay belongs to a good family. His father Sunil Dutt has contributed to the nation. It was a very emotional moment at Sanjay’s house when I met his two small children. If Sanjay has to serve another three and half years, I think it would be hard for his children.”<br /></p>
