AFZAL'S SENTENCE
NOW THAT THE SUPREME COURT HAS PASSED ON ITS JUDGEMENT TO HANG AFZAL TO DEATH, SUSPENSE IS ON WHETHER OUR ESTEEMED PRESIDENT SHALL PARDON HIM OR NOT FOR THE CRIME AGAINST THE VERY SYMBOL OF OUR DEMOCRACY.
THE ATTACK ON THE PARLIAMENT CAUSED DEATHS, ONE SHOULD REMEMBER. SPECIALLY FOR THOSE PEOPLE ASKING HIS SENTENCE TO BE REDUCED. BY THE TERRORIST ACT AFZAL & HIS GANG KNOWINGLY CAUSED HARM. IF HIS ACT HAD NOT CAUSED DEATHS, YES A DISCUSSION ON HIS SENTENCE COULD HAVE BEEN WARRANTED. BUT NOT NOW.
ANYBODY WITH A PRE-PLANNED MOTIVE WHO USES TERRORISM TO KILL OR MAIM AN INDIVIDUAL OR A GROUP OF PEOPLE SHOULD BE DEALT WITH HARSHLY. WHY TALK OF MERCY AT THIS JUNCTURE WHEN THE PERPETRATORS DID NOT SHOW THE SAME AT THE TIME OF ATTACK.
IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND, ANYONE CAUGHT AND CONVICTED WITH SIMILAR ACTS DONT DESERVE ANY MERCY. FROM THE PUBLIC OR THE PRESIDENT.
PEOPLE LIKE ARUNDHATHI ROY HAVE MISPLACED SYMPATHIES. HAVE THEY SHOWN ANY COMPASSION TOWARDS THE VICTIMS OF THESE ATTACKS OR DISPLAYED ANY SENTIMENTS TOWARDS THOSE DISPLACED PEOPLE FROM THE VALLEY ? NEVER. BECAUSE IT SHALL NEVER GET THEM THE POLITICAL GROUND THEY HOPE TO ACHIEVE.
IT IS SIMILAR WITH THE POLITICAL PARTIES TOO. THEY DO NOT WANT TO SPOIL THEIR GOOD IMAGE THANKS TO THE VOTE BANKS THEY CONTROL. OTHERWISE THE DISPLACED MINORITIES WOULD HAVE SEEN A LOT MORE ASSISTANCE FROM THEM.
IF AFZAL GETS HANGED, EVERYONE WILL HAVE TO REALIZE THAT IT IS NOT KASHMIRIS OR THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY WHO HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED. BUT IT IS THAT ACT WHICH IS SEEING THE GALLOWS.
A COMMON KASHMIRI PERSON I BET IS NOT ANTI-INDIAN OR PRO-PAKISTANI. IT IS WITH THAT SENSE HIS MENTALITY SHOULD BE TACKLED.
IF KASHMIR IS OPENED UP FOR THE REST OF INDIANS AND VICE-VERSA IS DONE SIMULTANEOUSLY, A LOT OF GOOD-WILL TOO SHALL FLOW UNABETEDLY IN BOTH THE DIRECTIONS. AT THE SAME INSTANCE BORDER ON THE PAKISTANI SIDE SHOULD BE SHUT.
POSITIVE APPROACH TO KASHMIR & HER PEOPLE ALONGWITH A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS SHOULD FOLLOW TO FACILITATE HARMONY AND THAT SHOULD BE THE GOVT'S LONG TERM GOAL.

Afzal is about to be past tense. We have to keep the hangmen ready for future Afzals.
