Afzal - Villain or Hero

[amit chopra(bawa)]

There are as many opinions on what should be done with Afzals Mercy Petition as there are people in this Beloved Country of ours..........

Some advocate showing no mercy towards a person who has taken the most dastardly step of attacking The Parliment, The feeling is that treason of such magnitude can not be forgiven. They are right in their logic that if such actions are condoned then more such attacks shall be encouraged and lo behold the same BJP chaps who caused the nations head to hang in shame in Khandar are leading this rethoric.......

Others say that the situation in Kashmir is different, any strict action shall cause more violence to be there. As if violence shall be stopped once the perperators know that they can get away with anything, and leading them is a Congress Chief Minister whose only agenda is his own political concerns country be dammed........

And there are those who say that one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter so does our govt accept this and recognise the subversion in Kashmir to be a geniune struggle for freedom............

So which group do i belong to ?
To tell u the truth i belong to another ,
The silent majority who actually think that
Afzal should not only be not hanged but he should be recognised as a National Hero, his services towards this nation should be rewarded not punished he is a true patriot, what he dared to do was some thing that most of us Indians have longed to do for long to get rid of these 546 traitors to clense the country of those corrupt People who now are voicing their own political adgendas the good of the country be dammed the deaths of those fools who gave their lives foolishly to protect them be of no avail after all what is the lives of a few Indians, there are Crores to take their place.

So Let us release him, lets give him one more opportunity to suceed where he failed earlier......

Give him all the help he needs this country need chaps like him, only then maybe we shall wake up. Only then maybe this country of Gandhi might stop encouraging the criminal, thug's thieves to rule over us, only then maybe violent mobs shall cease to decide the adgenda of our nation, only the maybe shall peaceful protesters employing Gandhi's methods not be cowed down by Institutionalised violence by the protectors of our democratic rights, our own Elected Govt's.

And only then maybe butchers like Modi and Afzals be Brought to JUSTICE.............

The major party leaders are cowards. Probably they would upheld issue brought out by Afzal's wife that no lawyer had been entrusted to defend Afzal. Why he didn't fight when court proceeding were on? Why now?

Lesson is police should change their methods. Like in films, just kill terrorists. Never try to catch them alive.

just kill terrorists. Never try to catch them alive.
TOTALY agree. Saves a whole lot of messing around later.

[janahitwadi]

Probably this is the only alternative available as on today.

The Germans found this out with Badaer Meinhoff and the RAF (Red army Faction, not the U.K air force).

I allways found it VERY suspiscious how, at the same time, two of them managed to smuggle guns into the prison, and then proceed to shoot themselves in the BACK of the head.

If you have ever used fire arms, you will apprieciate how close to inpossible this is.

BUT, thats just a "conspiracy theory"...or?

In India there is some thing called 'encounter' which resembles the situation you narrated. This is very rare though. Police leave a culprit and shoot while running.

[von-Scharnhorst]

Aye. The old story of "shot whilst escaping".

I am actualy quite surprised that , Bader Meinhoff style, we have not had a rash of "hostage frreing actions".

"hostages" are always more dangerous, than a world press that looses interst in the drop of a Queens Knicker.

The risk of two hours of bad press and a sacked minister, MUST be worth the means.

for the first time i agree with my friend Janahitwadi, even if that might lead to some innocents being victimised it is still the only way left to combat terror.

The people that victimise innocents should be delt with equaly strongly only then shall this be effective as a policy or we shall end up making more terrorists then we kill, but all said it will be better to make a example of our policy by taking a hard stand.

[janahitwadi]

Afzal Guru is an educated person. His wife says 'No lawyer pleaded his case' Did he or his wife did not know this while the case was progressing in Court of law? Why she did not raise this point at that time? What happens to the those brave security persons who died in protecting sovereignty of India? Would his wife bring back to life? Afzal is a criminal. He committed heinous attack against sovereignty of India. He must get what the law offers.
The major party leaders are cowards. Probably they would upheld issue brought out by Afzal's wife that no lawyer had been entrusted to defend Afzal. Are we not sending message to police like in films, just kill terrorists. Never try to catch them alive?

My friend Amit, Did you see my all posts or even 10% of posts? How do you say first time you agree with me? If you can spare some time, please go through some of my posts e.g. Traitorous acts of British Muslims in Briton. Then probably you will agree with me except on 'reservations'

May I ask why did you add 'Bawa' in your name? May be you want to tell others you are a Punjabi Brahmin! Is it relevant? In my opinion there is only one religion for a nation. For India one may call it 'Bharat' Any one accepting Bharat as religion obeys constitution and laws of state, believes in brotherhood as fundamental principle of religion and worships through any way acceptable to him/her. State doesn't put restrictions on 'worship' as long as it doesn't disturb peace of others.

At some place I did say name system should be changed, Own name, mother's name and last father's name. Do you think this would work for brotherhood more?

I am asking this publicly, because this questions are not specific to you but to all Indians.
