Re: Bangladesh hangs Jamaat leader for war crimes
^^^ yes, I am serious (even though I have no sympathy for JI and consider that Bengalis were victimised unfairly). Just imagine:
PPP getting into power (that happened in 1988) and then hanging all who were associate of Zia, just because Zia wrongly hanged Bhutto and while trying to crush MRD movement in Sindh, killed many PPP workers and innocent Sindhis …
Later, PML comes into power (after above episode if happens) and start hanging PPP members as revenge of PPP hanging PML members as revenge of Bhutto and people killed during MRD movement.
Imagine, MQM getting into power and start hanging PPP and PMLN members making excuse that they killed many MQM workers and innocent Karachi civilians during military operation in Karachi.
Imagine, ANP coming to power again in KPK and start hanging PTI and JI members blaming that they are part of Taliban and Taliban killed many ANP members.
And so on … as if that would happen, then there would be no peace ever in Pakistan. Same one can say about BD.
That is why … one is recommended to learn from Mandela and Mandela is considered as Moghul amongst politicians. If Mandela had started persecuting white Africans and their leaders, making excuse that they killed many blacks before power change, then probably even today there would have been no peace in South Africa.
Sorry, but you are confusing 2 things. The govt policy verse individuals responsible for criminal offenses…state exist to dispense justice to all w/o fear or favor. Btw, if you are logic was applied to broader context no would ever go to jail b/c everyone holds some kind of beliefs. Why a person who kills 1 person to go jail where a person who killed 300 or 300k people escape justice b/c of his/her beliefs? How exactly does that makes sense?
