I would prefer if all this can be solved in a way that india and italy can live with it. There are hardliners here too who say italy should use entire power of EU or simply make him a diplomatic officer with immunity and bring him home like that. But i disagree. We would solve one problem and would create thousand others. We dont know if we need india in near future for other common interests and they could remember that then. So a good solution should be found both can live with. India should finally settle the case, judge them and then place him in a plane heading to roma or milano and italy agrees to keep it low profile.
Why is the fate of two criminals such a big issue in Italy in the first place ?
I don't see Italy making a huge fuss over its other citizens who have committed involuntary manslaughter in other countries ?
Is it simply a case of under estimating India's resolve to punish murderers of its citizens before this whole thing blew out of proportion ?
India, for its part, would have let those two walk free quietly after all the diplomatic capital your govt spent, had your govt. not reneged on its promise to return them after xmas, a fact that brought the whole affair into national attention.
Now we have reached an impasse where both sides are finding it difficult to reach a solution that they can claim as some sort of victory.
