Don't Hang Afzal, Blow him up

Terrorists on December 13, 2001 attacked the Parliament of India resulting in a 45-minute gun battle in which 9 policemen and parliament staffer were killed. There were no protests in the Kashmir valley against this incident in which 9 Indians on duty were killed fighting the radical fanatics spreading terror in the name of Islam. Didn't they have a family, a wife, a mother or a son/daughter. Haven't their lives changed for ever? Why so much hue and cry over hanging of Afzal Guru? Where had the conscience of people gone at that time? Let these perpetrators of terror have one more martyr in this so called Holy War.
The accused is trying to be a true martyr, with no appeal for mercy coming from him. Instead he is taking this route via his wife and mother, to appeal the President for pardon. It's should either be a YES or NO. He has either committed the crime or not at all. And if the court of law has upheld his conviction, then no mercy should be shown towards such people. People who don't value life and take the path of such gross violence to express their views have no right to exist. Instead of hanging such people, they should be blown, tied to a bomb. They should know what such a death is, when you see your own body tearing apart into pieces. Let this be a tribute to those who laid their lives for the call of duty, defending the highiest symbol of Indian democracy.
Jai Hind.
