if you think it’s reasonable to provide no security to a high profile indian prisoner (by the way he became high profile only recently) then i don’t know what to tell you.

it’s pretty amazing to see you comparing this case to ajmal kasab. if you think some kangaroo court trial of an indian in the political environment of 1990 is credible then i have a few bridges to sell you. have you read about his case? if not just read a little bit about it and you will feel ashamed for having made such patriotic declarations about him being a terrorist who should rot in hell. all patriotism aside, we both know that the most probable scenario is that he was either totally innocent or at most a low-level spy…not some terrorist mastermind of multiple bombings. if that doesn’t strike you as an utter farce then i don’t know what would. i have no problem saying that similar false convictions of pakistanis would have been equally possible in india especially back then. presumably you are angered by indians claiming to hold the moral high ground on this issue (i agree that they don’t) but i wouldn’t let such annoyances evoke this kind of patriotic irrationality.

now this is not fair…you cannot eat the cake and have it…Pakistani courts are kangaroo courts and Indian courts are beckon of freedom…come on

you have to set the line somewhere where you have a reasonable amount of parity and from thereon you can call the shots as to what is right and what is wrong based on your conscience not patriotic feelings …otherwise every debate is nothing but a patriotic bombardment…

didnt we see not so long ago how afzal guru conviction was carried out in indian courts… the conviction itself said

" The incident, which resulted in heavy casualties, has shaken the entire nation and the collective conscience of the society will be satisfied if the capital punishment is awarded to the offender."

so a guy was hanged to satisfy a nation’s collective conscience even though Afzal Guru did not kill anyone? i recall when i read that ruling i could not think straight for few hours by grief and despair…not only he did not kill anyone but there is no absolute certainty about his role in the events that he is said to have been involved in. Then why did he have to be executed?

but we have to accept the judical verdict and then discuss the issue from thereon.
