As per Bharath’s constitution every citizen has the right to secure justice- social ,economic, and political. (PREAMBLE)
If therefore , my dear one is killed in a bomb attack by a terrorist, I and the dead soul have the right to get justice.
And when do I and the soul get justice…
When the killer is sent to the gallows.
Why…
For nothing short of it constitutes justice-
The price of killing is to get killed.
It is not revenge. It is just the price.
And let not these 40 johnnies tell me what constitutes justice to me and the soul.
I and the soul do know what justice means to us.
Yes, a wrong person should not be sent to the gallows.
But the “right” person should not be spared either.
Now it is for the courts to decide who is the killer.
But the court cannot let off a confirmed killer,
because Mr Shashi Tharoor or Prashanth Bhushan or Jaisingh or Owaisi or Tushar Gandhi, or some such silly set of people want the killer to be let off.
Let the system take all the care in the world to ensure that the real killer is identified before he is sent to be hanged.Even if there is an iota of doubt, let the person not be hanged.
But when sure , don’t spare….
As a “sufferer” I do not care whether death penalty is a deterrent or not.In fact, that is irrelevant to me. The cost gallows is not my business either.Justice is not limited by cost.
The right of the killer to his life gets extinguished the moment he has denied it to the killed.
Nor do I care which is his religion or even his nationality.
There are nations which have abolished death penalty.
But the same nations went and killed thousands in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria , Egypt, Sudan, Libya,……
And they “drowned” thousands of immigrants, lest they should come to their country…
And they claim to be “progressive, modern” nations. Let us not have a slavish mind and do what “they” do .
They may be “penny foolish, pound wise”…..
But let us be ourselves.Drop that mimetic mentality.
Don’t bark just because “that” dog barks…
You better campaign for abolition of-
Wars,
Arms ,
Ammunition,
Bombings,
Invasions,
Exploitation,
Religions(yes, Religions),
Racism,
Gunboat diplomacy,
Nuclear missiles,……………
And for the restorations to the natives of their lands and peoples and their culture, all of which “they” have grabbed, all across the world…….!!
