The Martyrs of 13 Dec. 2001 gave back the gallantry Medals awarded to their relatives who laid their lives for the National pride. If hadnt they laid their lives, some these minister and MLAs would be enjoying in heaven (or hell God knows).
These martyrs have returned their medals because a culprit is relieved, who is caught behind the act and is proved by the law of the land that he is guilty of taking innocent lives. He was given punishment of Death, but thanks to political debacle, even after so long time still Government is undecided whether it should hang him or not. This will boost the morals of the terrorist in this country, freely kill anyone, if you get Death then try to make a political scenario out of it and your death penalty hangs in air for the life time. Why is the hanging of Afzal being so much debated about? The reasons political party gives are uproar of Public Outcry in Kashmir. Does it mean that anyone can kill any one or carry out terrorist activity and enjoy full freedom. If there is public outcry, then its duty of Kashmir Goverment to control it. It doesnt mean that a culprit should be set free or his punishment be kept on lingering.
I think way the government works, a decision would definetly come of whether Afzal should be hanged or not after he dies a natural death. The family members of the martyrs have done right by returning the medals. I think its a encouragement for terrorist in the country to carry out such more attacks.
