Today, 4th May 2010 may be
the day remembered as the day which saw halted lifeline of Mumbai.
But, on the same day, another
important decision is due.
Ajmal Kasb, the only caught
terrorist of 26/11 Mumbai attack is yet to hear the Death sentence from the
court.
Till this blog is finished, I do
not think, we will hear the final judgment.
But, what made me to write this
blog is article in Mumbai Mirror that I read today.
It was mentioned that,
During trial, one police officer
told kasab "Tuze to main fansi ko latkake rahunga !"
Whereas, Kasab replied "Are
sahab,pehle guru ko to phansi do !"
(Guru-Mohammad Afzal, who is due
to hang for his part in the 2001 attack on India 's
parliament building).
In December 2001,when the
parliament was attacked, there were very few people who knew the truth.
12 casualities,7 were the Indian
citizens ,including 5 lady constables and 2 male while 5 were Terrorists who
attacked.
Now, at that time,
Mr.L.K.Advani,(Home Minister of India) told "Those 5 terrorists looked
like Pakistani's."
This sentence was criticized a
lot but then forgotten down the line.
The 5 people who attacked the
parliament were dead. (Still not clearly identified,who were they ?)
So, who is this Afzal Guru? How
he came into picture?
Afzal's cell phone number was
found on each of the attackers, written on the backs of their unsealed paper
IDs,Mobile call records. It showed that these 5
people who attacked were constantly in touch with Afzal Guru who was in Kashmir at
that time.
Then, he was arrested and was
sentenced to death in 2004. Yes .. 2004.. 6 years it has been till now.
And still we, the Indian
Government is not able to take it's stand.Are we being fooled ??
Like many of the Indians, I feel
this man should be hanged till death and message to those who are raising the
war against Nation should be conveyed.
But, today, I took out some time to come to a conclusion.

Google helped me to find few
links as
Afzal must not hang

India's shame by Arundhati Roy
Afzal Guru: Scapegoat or a
terrorist?
Petition against death penalty for Mohammad Afzal Guru
Afzal Guru Can Never Be Hanged
And among many in favor of hanging him till death, was
Petition to Hang Afzal Guru
And after spending about 3 hours
reading all those things, I got a clear impression.
Yes.. Finally!!.. At least to me
it was rather difficult to come on some conclusion.
NO.. I am not saying "Afzal
Guru is innocent and should not be hanged."
My conclusion was, It is failure
(A BIG TIME FAILURE !!)
Of both INDIAN Government and
Media !!..
Why we should need 9 years to
come to a conclusion?..Why he is not yet hanged even when in 2004 Supreme Court
sentenced him death??.
To be precise, the
statement from the supreme court was like :
“The incident, which resulted
in heavy casualties, had shaken the entire nation and the collective conscience
of the society will only be satisfied if capital punishment is awarded to the
offender.”
This suggest that in charge of
rising war against nation, he can be sentenced to death !
Now after the pleas from
various people in India and
Abroad, what were the steps taken by the Government?.
Does any one remember these
things?
In professional world, we see the
system works on "Follow ups".
Who in this case is responsible
and what should be done?.
Do you think, even if Kasab is
sentenced to death ,he will be hanged tomorrow ?.
9 years it has taken for Afzal
Guru. How much it will be for Kasab??..and why ?? ...
Let's pray to God that "May
our children watch him while he is being hanged" or
Let’s pray "Save our
children from the Bombs which he might throw after completing his 10 year of
imprisonment".
Choice is your's.You can choose
the prayer which you want to .
For me, I have not chosen any of
them. What a Crap?.. Change the government man ?.
Now, I recall the sentence which
I have read somewhere.
"India can
easily become a superpower.
All we need is, every Indian
should do his OWN duty."
That is it !!.. It is for sure
the path to success.
Now, Let’s see, how is happens in
this case.
