Tarigami seeks Prez intervention on Afzal's death penalty
New Delhi, Sept 27: Opposing the death penalty awarded to Jaish-e-Mohammad
militant Mohd Afzal responsible for the attack on Parliament, a senior
CPI(M) leader has sought the intervention of the President in the matter.
"Though there are legal implications, in today's civilised world, death
penalty is not acceptable, more so when the peace process in Kashmir is
going on", CPI(M) leader in Jammu and Kashmir, Mohd Yusuf Tarigami, said
here.
He said "We strongly feel that the President must intervene to stop the
death sentence from being carried out."
More than 5 years after the terror attack on Parliament, a Delhi Court had
yesterday ordered that Afzal, the main plotter it sentenced to death, be
hanged on October 20.
