Do terrorists deserve a fair trial ? Should terrorist caught red handed on camera, be hanged without trial ?



Justice delayed is justice denied. Although throughout history, threat of death penalty never stopped terrorism or political violence. When a terrorist is caught red handed on camera, then what is the need to defer punishing him?

As we have seen in the case Ajmal kasab, the lone terrorist caught alive in the Mumbai attack. The government must act swiftly whenever these events take place, it’s been years still he is not punished for his heinous crime. The punishment should fit the crime.

The act which our Indian government follows:

“Any person who has been put in jail and given the maximum punishment can first appeal in supreme court. If the judgment is not favorable then he/she can appeal to President of India”

The procedure followed in India for putting a terrorist to death (who has killed many) is highly ridiculous. Government is seeing the life of one person forgetting the death of many innocent lives. I have heard people saying "if he is put to death, Indians in Pakistan will suffer the same even though they are not terrorists”. Who we need to blame? on the contrary we need to look inside of ourselves. Government must understand! Rules must be framed only for those who are eligible to come under those rules. To lead people, government must follow behind. If we listen to the politicians, we might think we are all terrorists.

The government behaved in an exemplary manner during the Mumbai Terror attack, but this isn't always the case after the attack. Terrorism is not an expression of rage. It is a political weapon. Remove a government's facade of infallibility, and you remove people's faith. Terrorism is the tactic of demanding the impossible, and demanding it at gunpoint.Terrorism can change minds, but it doesn't always go in the direction the terrorists expect. Terrorists don't understand, the more they define freedom the less freedom they have.

Let's make clear to that we do not bow down to terrorists, we only bow down to all the suffering of humanity.

We invite terrorism not by fighting but by ignoring them.
