Mohammad Sarwar pledge over Mumtaz Sattar murder 5 October 2013 Last updated at 14:08 The new governor of the Punjab, Mohammad Sarwar, has told the family of an Inverclyde woman that he will do everything possible to have her killers brought to justice. Mumtaz Sattar, 38, from Port Glasgow, was murdered just hours after arriving in Pakistan last month. Her relatives have petitioned the High Court in Lahore, naming a suspect. Her brother Sarfraz Ali and family solicitor Aamer Anwar met Mr Sarwar in Glasgow on Saturday. Mr Sarwar, who became Britain's first Muslim MP in 1997 when he won the Glasgow Govan seat, renounced his British citizenship in August ahead of his inauguration as governor of Pakistan's most populous province. Speaking after the meeting, he told BBC Scotland he had been in contact with the Punjab police almost every day since Mrs Sattar's murder, and had told them he wanted the case investigated by senior officers. I have confidence in our police force in Punjab and the legal system that they will do their best to make sure that the person who has committed this heinous crime is brought to justice End Quote Mohammad Sarwar Governor of Punjab He added: "I want to assure the family and the people of Scotland that justice will be done.
