It will help remove some of the haze that has been covering the Kashmir issue for past one month. Right now every one is concerned or rather looks like concerned about Afzal Guru. Had all our leaders been a little futuristic, Afzals case wouldn’t have become so Complex had they come together when Afzals case was being discussed in the Court. If they mean what they are saying then we are on the right track but if it’s yet again the very ugly face of cheap publicity then sooner or later we will be doomed
Lets come back to the death sentence of Afzal Guru and think whether we really are doing some thing to save a fellow citizen who in general perception is innocent. Killing him could lead to a rash of new strikes. One saw how the award of the death sentence to Maqbool Butt led to the kidnapping and murder of Ravi Mhatre, an Indian diplomat posted at Birmingham, by the JKLF elements in 1983. Why should he be awarded even life imprisonment? I mean he should go free. What on the earth do you have against him except under POTA he has been booked as and how wanted.
At a time when a peace process is having a bumpy ride and confidence and trust is not at its highest, is it prudent for a government of India to hang Afzal Guru? That’s what I feel as a citizen of a trouble torn state. What about you?
(Azal Guru is a kashmiri who has been arrested in connection with the parliment attack , Many people beleive that he is not involved and should begiven a fair trial )
