Hang & Finish

The bench of Supreme Court justices Aftab Alam and C K Prasad , said in their judgement to hang Ajmal Qasab said " The attacks have a magnitude of unprecedented enormity on all scales . The conspiracy behind the attacks was as deep and large as it was vicious.The preparation and training  for the execution  was as thorough as the execution was ruthless"  

The words itself say that how ruthlessly, he and his fellow terrorist have slaughtered the innocent man women and children. How can a man who has killed hundreds of people ask for mercy???? Why should our law allow such a procedure ????. Mercy petitions should be allowed on case to case basis not for such murderous acts carried out against our country in our own country..

The entire nation was waiting for this verdict, and each and everyone is of the opinion that now we should not waste time again following the course of law to hang Qasab.

Why the Presidents of India, do not act fast on clearance of mercy petitions. Because due to the non clearance of these mercy petitions for years after years, give a more comfortable and secured life to these terrorists and criminals in jails, we are more in pressure to look after them well, they enjoy all the facilities on the taxpayers money.    

The pending mercy petitions in the Indian jails are
1. Afzal Guru convicted for carrying out attack on Indian Parliament in December 2001. Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence on 2004.

2. Gurmeet Singh from Uttar Pradesh, convicted for killing 13 members of a family , including 8 children, in 1986. He was awarded death sentence in 1992, his mercy petition pending since 2007.

3. Saibanna Natikar from Karnataka, convicted for killing his first wife, found guilty for murdering his second wife and 18 month old daughter while on parole.

4. Murugan, Santhan and Perarivalan from Sri Lanka , convicted of assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in 1991. Then President Pratibha Patiel rejected the mercy petition, but political parties in Tamilnadu are planning to approach goverment again , seeking pardon.

5.Dharmpal from Haryana convicted in 1999 and sentenced death, still is alive after killing five members of the family of the girl he had raped.

Still there is a long list of this kind of mercy petitions of killers and murderers are alive and enjoying in the jails .with special treatment from the Indian goverment.

Now it is to be seen how the new President Pranab Mukherjee acts on these issues, Shri Balasaheb had rightly advised the new President not to give a second thought but to hang these murderers immediatly
