The dreaded terrorist Yakub Memon’s hanging to death has indeed severely assaulted the sentiments of the self-appointed guardians of protection of human rights! It is very easy to act liberal and broad-minded by residing at a safe distance and directly unaffected by terrorism. There exists many arm-chair “humanitarians” in Kolkata and other metropolis who feel sympathy for the Maoists or morally support them! Indeed human rights get affected if the Maoist leaders get imprisoned or shot to death in encounter. But when they take arms and torture innocent villagers or massacre police constables and jawans who are simply performing their duty, the very same proponents of humanity simply prefer to act blind, dumb and deaf.
It seems all norms of human rights form the monopoly of terrorists only and they hold God-gifted right to slay law-abiding human beings and security personnel. Do the “liberal” brigade hold an iota of idea about the unfathomable pain of losing one’s innocent child, husband, wife or parents; thanks to the “divine” acts of the terrorists? Do they feel a bit of attachment towards the grieving hearts of the family members of the victims who get widowed, orphaned or lose their offspring; courtesy the terrorists? Their lives change forever and that too for worse. No condemnation is enough for the “progressive” lot shedding streams of tears for the likes of Memon.
Persons who don’t care about the human rights of others should never expect such rights for themselves also. Not cases of hanging few and far between; rather each and every terrorists, murderers and rapists should be awarded capital punishment so that fear can be instilled in the hearts of the criminals and terrorists about the severity of punishment and consequences of ghastly crime and terror. Fear of death is supreme. If dark minds are made aware of the fact that they will not be treated with kid gloves, rather noose and gallows will wait for them; they would think twice before daring to indulge in any heinous act.
