Yakoob Memon's Hanging

Today Yakoob Memon was hanged in Nagpur for his role in 1993 serial bomb blast in Mumbai. These explosions killed 257 people and leaving more than 700 injured. His hanging is a right step towards solving problem of terror attacks. Fear of death must be bought to the mind of people planning and executing the attack.

Some anti-national elements tried to question Yakoob's execution on very flimsy grounds; they filed mercy petitions and review petitions in Supreme Court. These petitions were rejected many times by Supreme Court and the president.

Many well-known people tried to question Supreme Court judgment and considered themselves above Supreme Court. One such person is Salman Khan who tweeted against hanging of Yakoob Memon. Salman Khan and other Muslim leaders tried to pull support for Yakoob Memon in the name of religion but when they got stiff opposition from nationalist forces, they retracted and now are saying that they respect Supreme Court judgment.

Some people are still continuing their protest against Yakoob's hanging and writing articles in leading news websites. I commented on these sites separately but it worth mentioning here also. These people who are writing this kind of article are paid by anti-national elements from outside India. These people are saying that Yakoob's hanging will deter people from surrendering to law. I would like to correct that Yakoob Memon did not surrender but was arrested in Nepal and bought to India. Anyway it makes no sense to hold a trial with a restriction that guilty should not be punished.

Till now in mind of terrorist and their masters are going that India will never kill terrorists because of fear of Muslim vote bank. But with Yakoob Memon's execution clear message will go to them that India can hang the terrorists. For the first time court was opened in night 3:30 AM to hear mercy plea of Yakoob Memon so that Yakoob's supporter were not able to use judicial procedure delays to save Yakoob.

Maharastra government and Central government in India did their job of upholding judicial sovereignty over the vote bank politics. Good job! Please keep it up.
