Mr.Mani Shankar Iyer is still screaming for Yakub Memon’s
capital punishment. He & the other 37 like-minded are putting forth the
opinion of the SC/HC former justices for why he should be spared from the deadliest
fate.
India is a free land for all the crookes, disloyal
& dumb people.
The so called intellectual secularists always lead the
front of such people. The unfortunate thing is, the most influential electronic
& English print media always become the voice of such malicious personnel.
The point they are defending is not the alleged;
rather, proven involvement in the ’93 Mumbai blasts. The point is, the
involvement was indirect, then Yakub’s surrender in the case was negotiated
against sparing him from the ultimate punishment; the surrender was to unveil
the involvement of Pakistan in the blasts; that Yakub is being hung in lieu of
his absconding brother Tiger Memon as a revenge & not the entire of the
legitimate means offered by the law to save one from the execution’s punishment
have been let use; the technicalities of the judicial process were violated etc
etc…..
When the national security had been put at stake, it
becomes irrelevant whether the culprit was allowed all the lawful means to
explore to save his life or not. When the culprit has been involved in treachery
which is proven in the trial, it is senseless to protest if some of minor
judicial formalities are skipped off or jumped. The ultimate national interest has
to be to take the betrayer to his justice.
May be his involvement was not as deep as that of his
brother. So what? Involvement was there no? Then was he not a cause; whatever
tiny be it, for the loss of hundreds of families?
In any of the progressive nations, whatever liberal
they might be otherwise, when it comes to safeguard the national interests,
when it comes to take revenge on their enemies, all the so called intellectuals’
voices, the human rights imperatives , the liberisation movements , freedom of
the media etc are subtly contracted & silenced by the governments. Rather, these “forward”
leftists of those countries exhibit the maturity themselves & keep shut on
such occasions to support their very national interests. In India, we have long
way to go to called ourselves as a “progressive” nation.
