Afzal guru was executed on february 9 2013 after five days of continuous secrecy by the government to his family . He had applied for mercy petition 6 years back and which was kept on hold for many years saw a tremendous speed all of a sudden and performed in the same manner of ajmal kasab .
Though the difference being this act was considered one of the most inhumane act by the government of India Afzal guru was hanged 7 years after the supreme court's pronouncement of the death sentence on him on august 4th ,2006 and over six years after his clemency petition to the president of India but no stand was taken and it was an agonized situation condemned by all civilized countries .
But why was there such a delay even when opposition demanded for a verdict and why was the decision taken after six years in such a haste that the execution was done within five days ?! is it one of the election strategies ??
The convict was imprisoned without a clear picture of his future and he and his family were traumatized because of the lack of knowledge about him.Many consider it was not feasible of the government to await authoritative pronouncement of the supreme court and also that Afzal Guru's execution will remain callous.
