mohd.afzal case………to hang or not to hang

death penalty is one issue that always gives rise to heated debates on the same.both the pro and anti death penalty groups are justified in some ways.however,what i fail to understand is that why do ‘activists  have  objections with capital punishment only when a terrorist/a cold blooded murderer(dhanjoy chaterjee) is handed the death sentence.the activists go overboard after that,even arguing that the case has been basewd on false grounds and the confession was extracted under pressure(btw the afzal confession was televised by channels across the country).instead of being treated as criminals,these convicts are exalted and also made to be seen as victims.my question is when scenes of afzal gfamily was being played did any one see what the family of 13 havaldars who lost their lives in the parliment attack feel if he was released?will the indian goverment assure us that if another hijack takes place not only will they ensure the safety of all passengers but will also make sure that dreaded militants/terrorists are not realesed again.death penalty is not an end/ a solution in itself for sure.it can be ,in fact clubbed as a nesscary evil.in my book,mass murders,terrorists who enginner blasts that involve a huge civilan casualites nithari like incidents must be given death.As far as the freedom fighter argument goes,none of our freedom fighters blew up trains opr attacked innocent brit nationals.
i know all this may be highly subjective but what irritates and angers me the most is the attempt made by certain ppl to whip up sympathy for such ppl who evidently do not need any mercy.i wud like to see what such ppl has to say about santosh singhs death sentance.is she going to find loopholes in the case and write about it in a national newsmagazine or are these so called social activists going to petion the president to stop execution.i am still waiting……………………….
