“If you do see him, what are you likely to say? Do you think that you would say, look, you’ve spent this time in prison, you’ve done your time, you know, perhaps look at cutting a deal? I have heard that they may kill our father. If that happens, we have both decided that we will go back to Pakistan and start active politics to avenge what they did to him.”
