Mohammad Afzal Guru, the man who attacked parliament has been sentenced a dealth penalty on 20th of October. 13 army personnel were killed in the incident and if the attackers succeeded our entire country would have gone under the control of terrorists.
However his hanging is debated in certain quarters of the country. The reasons given are that the peace process with pakistan will be hampered if this man is hanged. (As if pakistan wants peace in the first place.) :rolleyes:
The CM ok Jammu and Kashmir ghulam nahi azad and and PDP chief Mehbooba mufti are requesting the president for the same.
Some noted people like arundhati roy and medha patkar also want clemency for the man. Some view points are we are a democratic state and we dont take an eye for an eye. We are a civilised society and so on.
On the other hand efforts are being made by ISI for the release of this man through another hijack or something similar as reported by Indian investigation agencies.
If this man is given clemency and say 6 months or a year down the line if ISI succeeded in hijacking a plane or kidnapping some kids from school. This man will walk free once again and we dont know how many lives will be lost.
And clemency is given to someone who regrets his acts. The way mehbooba mufti and ghulam nabi azad are shouting slogans of human rights i wonder if these people are indian at all. OR are they another bunch of terrorists in white collars???
Personally i do not recommend a death sentence but this is the rarest of rare cases, a guiding principle on which our courts declare a death sentence for a person. A year or so back a person from west bengal was hanged to death for raping and murdering an innocent school girl. His wife and family pressed hard for his clemency and there was a huge media outcry on the issue. But justice prevailed.
My opinion is that this man is a time bomb. His hanging may not be deterrant to other terrorists. But if hes not hanged it will certainly be a moral booster for them.
We as a state are too soft on these kind of people. Our noble hearts that let the enemy free on numerous occassions throughout indian history have resulted in numerous foreign invasions and their subsequent rule on our masses. Do we want history being repeated? Should kidness be to the extent of stupidity?
I dont care for political parties because congress have a lot at stake here. And his hanging has been deferred till a sentece comes from presidents office. And pressure is being created on the president from all quarters. Or will the congress deploy its typical half a century old startegy of delaying the issue till people completely forget about it?? We dont know. As an Indian I feel depressed today and wonder if at all we r safe in this country.
In any case this is my opinion. What do u people opine??
