What if Jammu & Kashmir did a Tamil Nadu on Afzal Guru? Says Kashmir CM

[RoYaL~GuJJaR]

This is interesting now..!!!

I believe..they have every right do it and in case Gov Pardons Rajiv's killer then Afzal Guru has right to get the mercy too.....Every one should be treated in equal...Of course public(Including me..too) can make a noise than Rajiv killer is not against the indian nationhood rather Afzal Guru is against the nation...But still then i beleive from a very brod perspective rule is applicable to all..irrepsective who he is...

NO they don't. Rajiv was killed in 1991. His killers have been in prison for 20 years. It has been 11 years since the Supreme Court confirmed the death sentence. The mercy petition was disposed off after 11 years. This is the delay that has made the case for the commutation viable. Hanging a man to death after he spends 20 years in jail may amount to double punishment. That is, life imprisonment followed by death sentence.
Afzal Guru's case is different and of more recent vintage. They will not have the luxury to sleep on his case to suit their political ends. He doesn't have a hope. He will surely dance on a rope.

Thanks to our superfast judicial system.

 

[Leader]

ofcourse they would not enjoy the same reaction... two different situation, two different lands, two different approaches...

 

[harpoon]

some of you probably won't like me for saying this but the 3 killers of Rajiv Gandhi should not be hanged but praised and given a estate in Ladakh i hate Rajiv Gandhi and his mother i like the fact they are both dead

But you cannot have one set of rules for one set of people and another for another set of people. Law should be equal for all. Anyways the best thing is to abolish the capital punishment altogether.

This case speaks volumes of how painfully slow our judiciary is. 10 yrs to reach a verdict and another 10 yrs to scrutinize the mercy plea. Our judicial system is slower than what is called 'snail's pace'.There should be some urgent steps to revise our judicial system before the common man loses his faith in the rule of law. There was an incident in my state where a minister was convicted of corruption in 2011 which he committed in 1982. One of his accomplices is now bed ridden and is suffering from Alzheimers.

Kashmir CM also says the same...........

Presidential clemency is based on the merits of individual cases and not a blanket 'pardon'. CM Omar Abdullah has rights to voice his opinions, but should also take into consideration the merits of individual cases.

The fact that J&K enjoys a certain level of autonomy as opposed to Tamil Nadu. The TN assembly passed a resolution to asking the President to reconsider her decision not to grant clemency to Rajiv's killers.

Secondly, Rajiv Gandhi was the ex-PM of India and was assassinated during campaigning for elections. The killers deserved death sentences and some got it. What Guru did was plan, support, and execute an attack on the Parliament of India with the intention of holding hostage the representatives of the people of India - the very basis of democracy in India. This act - of waging war no India, its people and its institutions qualifies for capital punishment.

However, according to provisions in the Indian Constitution, the J&K CM or any other politician is within his/her rights to plead with President for clemency, after all the judiciary processes are exhausted.

I love the darkness in that piece of prose.

If govt. gives in to tamil nadus demand then as Omar said they can raise voice for Afzal and Punjab won't be far behind as they are opposing hanging of Bhullar which is due soon.

Its not the govt. The govt already won its case, with the judiciary handing out death sentences. Its now the prerogative of the President of India to decide whether those people (with due acknowledgement to Mr. Pmukherjee) should dance on a rope or not!

What if Jammu & Kashmir did a Tamil Nadu on Afzal Guru? Says Kashmir CM

A tweet from Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday stirred a controversy, with the BJP accusing him of playing vote-bank politics.

A day after the Tamil Nadu assembly adopted a resolution urging President Pratibha Patil to reconsider clemency for the three killers of former PM Rajiv Gandhi, Abdullah wondered what reactions a similar act by the J&K House would evoke.

"If the J&K assembly passed a resolution similar to the Tamil Nadu one for Afzal Guru, would the reaction have been as muted? I think not," he tweeted.

Guru, who hails from Kashmir, was sentenced to death for plotting the attack on Parliament on December 13, 2001.

Five terrorists had stormed the Parliament complex and killed sevensecuritymen before being shot dead.

The union home ministry has recommended to the President that the mercy petition filed on Guru’s behalf be rejected.

The death sentence for Guru is a sensitive issue in the Kashmir Valley and Abdullah had tweeted on the subject earlier.

His tweet on Wednesday drew sharp reactions from the BJP, which called the remarks "unfortunate" and chided him for playing vote-bank politics.

"Had the Hurriyat leaders made such a comment, it would have been understandable," BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said in Delhi.

"Omar wants to address his constituency. They should not indulge in vote-bank politics on every matter," he added.

The Congress chose to distance itself from the issue. "What the CM comments on Twitter is his business," said party spokesperson Renuka Chowdhary. "In a democracy, it's perfectly okay for people to voice their opinions collectively or individually."

Omar: What if J&K did a TN on Afzal Guru? - Hindustan Times

I am agreed with Omar

Why only politicians in TL allowed to do politics

Both the f***** jayalalita and Karunananidhi want to save terrorists just for their dirty vote bank politics then why not Omar ??

Before hanging terrorist just hang all those politicians who want to save them
