Armyman caught handing documents to Pak spy

May be we need a joint anti-spy mechanism in place, I'm sure Mr M Singh would love that.

And we should also have the following:
Joint anti-theft mechanism with thieves
Joint anti-corruption mechanism with corrupt ministers and officials
Joint anti-murder mechanism with murderers
Joint nationalists mechanism with anti-nationals
...

Cry my beloved country, for what your children have done to thee !!

Think of victim's family before pardoning convicts: SC

The timing of the ruling couldn't have been better.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said that the powers of the President and governors to grant pardon to a convict or to reduce the sentence imposed on him were subject to judicial review. It recently quashed a decision of an AP Governor Sushil Kumar Shinde, to remit the sentence of a convicted congress activist.

The Justices also said, the President and governors have to keep in mind the effect of such pardon on the family of the victim.

All those who're seeking for clemency for a person sentenced to death penalty in the parliament attack case should think about the victims who died in protecting the Parliamant and those who died in the cross fire and their families. Even after 5 years, some of the families of the victims have not received the compensation announced by the Dikshit government in Delhi. Whoever protest for clemency of the convicted may do justice to those who died in the attack, if they protest the delay in Delhi Govt's not paying the compensation.

Arundhati Roy makes a case for Afzal

What else can we expect from such people ?

"
Roy, who said she is participating in the protest because she is against death penalty, also added, "The whole case is full of faulty evidence and fabricated stories and to hang someone for something he may not have done is not fair." She demanded a Parliamentary inquiry into the case.
"

When she says that she was participating because she was against death penalty, why does she also say that the whole case is full of faulty evidence ? So the intention of the protest is not against the death penalty. Protesting death panalty is different from criticizing the case. Why is she trying to conduct the street or media trial here ?? Apart from writing, has she started practising the law ? For a case which took around 5 years for the judiciary to convict the accused, her performance of passing judgement is pretty impressive. :-)

Interestingly the sit-in was organized by S A R Geelani who was acquitted in the case earlier. So the acquittal of one is fair and the conviction of another is unfair ?
