Ok, Yakub Memon was hanged till death. He was found guilty of 1993 serial Mumbai blasts by our Hon'ble courts of law. He (of course along with some others) was responsible for untimely deaths of so many Innocent individuals. Thus on the basis of evidences and all, our courts decided that he deserved highest punishment that the law of this land permitted. Shouldn't we pay respect towards our system of judiciary? At least the the survivors and the kith and kins of the victims are happy!!! After 22 years they have found something which is actually a "news" to them. Justice delayed, but not denied...
Is the value of the lives of those innocent men, women and kids lower than the life of the terrorist who was responsible for their deaths? Play politics and we would be able to see so many dangerous individuals roaming free.. I suppose I won't have to elaborate anything else, we have already so many living examples here in Assam!!!
Some people are trying to politicize the issue in the name of religion. Some are saying that Memon belongs to a particular religion and that's the reason he was hanged till death and blah blah!! I have one question to those persons, is there any religion in this world which advocates violence? Does any religion teaches of any method how to cold bloodedly murder a human being? Terrorism follows no religion. Terrorists don't belong to any religion.. For some, terrorism is actually their business that makes huge profit which is even beyond our imagination!!! Most of the terror acts are funded by outside elements to disrupt the integrity of our nation. While the matter of our national integrity and loss of innocent lives arise, shouldn't we stay united??
Some are saying that as the main convicts like Dawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon are still at large, so by delivering punishment to Yakub Memon alone is meaningless!!! Just tell me one thing or just clear my doubts, does committing a crime in a group decreases the individual responsibility of those criminals?
Delivering punishment and giving a chance to reform are two entirely different entities. When somebody commits a heinous crime, he/she should get the punishment first, then comes the point of getting the chances to reform. Given the chance, not every "RATNAKAR" becomes a "BALMIKI"!!! There are lots of examples when one gets involved in similar unsocial activities once he/she gets out of jail (specially true in case of adult convicts).
"If this is done this way, this might happen!!"
Justice can't be delivered keeping in view of the consequences or the after effects. Unhealthy criticism is received even after doing the best of the best things. "Majority must be granted" holds true in case of democracy, but justice can't be based on the public opinion. Moreover there is no place for emotions in case of judiciary. One murderer can't be allowed to roam free just because he has an ailing mother to be taken care of.. One rapist can't be set free just because he has kids at home. Punishment of a convict by the laws of the land shouldn't be stayed just because there might be chances of instigated riots.
There is always scopes for debate whether capital punishment should be totally abolished from our system. Eye for an eye can never be a solution to anything, but a terrorist should never be the "poster boy" for these discussions!!!
