Some examples for this process are: Masterminds behind assassination of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi (Event occurred – 1991, Supreme court hailed Capital Punishment in 1999, President confirmed hailed the same in 2011 and now they again moved to High court?); Master mind behind the attack on Indian parliament, an attack which almost broke war between India - Pakistan – Afzal Guru (Event occurred in 2001, HC paved the way for capital punishment in 2004, and now the plea is with president for all these years, a decision is yet to come and we experience a threatening attack today); Mr. Kasab who is one of the celebrity or recent times (Event occurred – 2008, Currently step 1 is cleared, but final verdict is still fr from reach)
In this whole process the precious time of judicial system, public money is wasted in the security of the terrorist, and such bomb blasts and warnings from their team members are evoked http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/HuJI-claims-responsibility-for-Delhi-high-court-blast/articleshow/9896388.cms.
Can this process not be simplified at least for the high profile terrorists? Rather than sending a strong message to terrorists, are we not calling for another ‘Kandhar (some of you might recall this incident)” or more bomb blast similar to what was experienced today? Can we do something?
More later. Good bye!

It is quite a simple process but the government is full of corrupt n hypocrites that are not concerned about anything in the country.Y'sday on 7th sept. we had blasts in front of the High Court but the PM's reaction was so vague and ridiculous that it's leave's nothing. All those innocent lives lost have their convicts left enjoying life with special treatment and most importantly the terrorist being free. Further it does not seem that their will be a solution soon so keep your finger's crossed. Nice article :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting piece Puneet! How do you differentiate between a 'high profile' and a 'low profile'?
ReplyDeleteThanks all for reading! :) I knew someone will surely question that and wanted to suggest few criteria also in the post but did not. How many lives did the person take or the impact of his / her doing on the nation or the media rating itself. If we think through this one properly, it is not very difficult to come up with objective / subjective criteria.
ReplyDeleteThe whole constitution and system is corrupted from top to toe.There is a need of more Anna's to this nation to rise up in every aspect."The change cant be given to you every time, you yourself should bring the change." @ashutosh
ReplyDeleteWho wants to take a stand on perpetrators of such terrorist attacks and risk losing a big chunk of their vote bank...still divide n rule policy is at large in this country...
ReplyDeleteUnless people feel connected to each other and stop voting on basis of religion, caste, community etc...we cannot keep on blaming the people in power...we reap what we sow.
@ True Ashutosh, but the system is corrupt because Indian mentality is opportunistic. And system is nothing else but "WE".
ReplyDelete@ Ankur: Indeed, system is nothing but us. So I don't blame system for anything.
