Hanging of Afzal Guru
How irresponsible is our Media, both print and Electronic. Yesterday i.e. on 9th February 2013, I switched on the Television at 6.30 in the morning, which I normally do everyday. The news which was being read was the speculation about hanging of Afzal Guru. Through out the day and up to 10.30 PM all the News channels were continuously broadcasting the news of hanging of Afzal Guru. Even to day morning the same story was continuing. Even today's News Paper is full of of the same story. Three-fourth of the News paper was full of the same story.
It appears the in the country of 120 crores of population spread from Kashmir to Kanyakumari nothing else has happened on 9th February, except the hanging of a terrorist i.e. Afzal Guru. He was a terrorist and was hanged for a terrorist attack i.e. attack on parliament. Why the media is making him a hero, I can not understand.
After the hanging many groups including the so called human rights activist has become active suddenly. Even some of them have started arguing that he did not get a fair trial, as he was not represented by a good lawyer. I do not want to argue on the merit of the subject but I do not understand why they were sleeping for so many years. Why these groups did not act on time? Why they did not arrange him a capable lawyer during the course of trial? Is it their normal style of functioning to create problem when the act is already done.
All the political leaders were also discussing about the subject, some in favour and some against it. Is it also a political subject. Whether punishing a terrorist for a crime of terrorism is a political subject? Both the Congress and the Bharatiya Janta Party are on the same footing. Leaders both the parties are having the wrong impression that the people our country will get carried away by such foolish statements. Of course so far as the degree is concerned congress is worse because they are in the power and so their leaders have become arrogant. They feel they are not accountable, answerable to any body. They will learn their lesson in 2014 General Election.
