Petty politics behind controversy over Yakub death sentence

So what do these politicians want to say ? That Yakub memon should not be hanged and spread  Red carpet till his home from the Jail ?

257 persons have died. Their deaths are very painful for their families... It's a matter of regret that this kind of politics is happening over the issue of hanging of a terrorist,

 

These politicians and people who are giving such sentences on court's decision only want to show faith towards a community. Politicians like Owassi and other try to grab Muslim votes at any cost. These people are not interested in whether justice has done or not, but they want to get benefit of any situation happening around.

They say Law is Blind in the link article. I ask are these mud headed politicians are blind ? Why they are unable to see the deaths of 258 people in the blasts ?

Most of these who are making noise now are either politicians who are frustrated because they are out of power and a few human rights activists who suddenly appear the moment a terrorist is involved and they somehow want to get him out and of course the media which is waiting to sensationalise anything to get more viewers...Honestly, it is better to ignore the whole lot !!!

So, Human Rights Activists support Inhuman activists? Good.  From now, terrorists will be having a solid support. Leave politicians. All are aware of These Turncoats.

political parities are made to do politics in the country ,if they get the chance they will surely do something which will take them in the eyes of people. 

Political parties cannot change the law. Law takes its own course.At the most, the political parties make noise.

 

Now one thing happened after Yakub's death that people who were supporting the terrorists behind the scenes has come out, and clearly public can decide whom to believe and whom to not. The true face of such politicians is now in front of public. 

Now the present situation and the attitude of the public is, they are well aware of these politician's true colors and their hypocrisy. Nobody will believe them.

 

There is an ample controversy around this whole affair but there is one thing I would like to point out which is, just because Yakub has been hanged does not prove anyone's patriotism, neither has it brought any kind of justice to '93 bombing victims, the real culprits Dawood and Tiger Memon are still at large!

I view the issue in a different perspective. Yakub is a human, a dreaded terrorist. Many politicians started shedding crocodile tears when Yakub was hung. My question is are all those innocents who lost their lives not humans ?

Your question may be valid but don't forget that real justice has not been served! How come no one is making a noise about Sanjay Dutt getting a n easy way out, when he was the one who stocked the weapons that were used during that incident?

 I agree with you.A pertinent point you raised. That the law has been not served is an undeniable fact. My comment above is connected with the Yakub issue only.

The issue with Sanjay Dutt was that he wanted to buy one of the weapons for his own use and the rest were stored there without his knowledge since they said they had bought it give it to others who wanted to buy it for their protection... One can believe that given the knowledge that Sanjay is quite stupid and gullible ! He is paying the price for whatever he has done,,,

True true Usha...I agree with you. But my point is that, the whole hullabaloo over Yakub Memon's hanging has raised so much dust that there is also a great fear of people becoming distracted from the real issue and the real criminals. That is all I wish to say. There also is fear of increased incidents where now defectors will now not come forward to testify against others, like it happened with Yakub., The very same point that B. Raman kept arguing with the P.V. Narsimha government and the court. B.Raman was the RAW officer who personally handled Yakub's case and brought him in.

Kalyani , The point here is that although B Raman was directly involved, apparently nothing is really clear about the terms under which Yakub surrendered...Also even if one takes a humanitarian view and give him life sentence, there is always the chance that his gang would kidnap an aeroplane or an important person and demand his release. It is not at all an easy situation and when there is disagreement within the country and also people start pointing fingers at the apex court there will be more trouble ! We play directly into the hands of terror groups ..

The question that should trouble us very profoundly is if as a nation we at all one in dealing with our serious problems rising above partisan politics.Ideally I would like to see hanging altogether banished for ever but the reality is none of the nations which banned it,faces as frightening a challenge as terrorism as India.We have failed as a nation to evolve a firm strategy to deal with cases like one involving Iaqub.How do explain the inexcusable delay of 22 years? Haven't we punished him doubly with both imprisonment and taking life?

Does it mean that we should have hanged him within a week after Supreme Court upheld his death sentence or should have allowed him to home and stay there till it was finally decided to hang him? This sympathy on a convicted terrorist by many is simply astonishing. Those who are against death sentence can say so but should not condemn its awarding as it is a valid form of punishment till abolished.

That's what the people opposing death sentence say.  IT is unfair to hang Yakub the very next day after the verdict.But the court said, Yakub was given enough time and there is no necessity for giving more  time to Yakub.

Chinmoy, I too am not for death sentence although in some cases you dont see anything else that justifies the quantum of crime committed..In yakubs case the SC was definite about the punishment they decided for him so one cannot argue against the court verdict. As for Yakub getting double punishment , I feel that he had 22 years of life whether inside the prison or not life is till precious and I doubt if he repented his deeds ,probably concentrated only on how he could get out of the death sentence by hook or crook !
