A think granting Mohamed Afzal clemency would be a sin and a sad day for Indian Democracy, if it were to happen. A man attacked the Indian Parliament. If we pardon that, tomorrow there will be others like him who will perceive India as a weak State. This will demoralise the armed forces and security personnel. They risk their lives to protect us. If petty vote-bank politics is going to rule over a Supreme Court judgement, then Indian democracy will go for a toss. We cannot undermine the authority of the Supreme Court.
As far as abolishing of Capital Punishment is concerned, it will require a change in the Constitution. None us, reading this page are in the position to modify the Constitution. Let us not forget that our Constitution was written by some of the best minds (and hearts) the country has ever produced. They must have definitely thought of something that they included capital punishment.
So as long as the law exists, it must be abided by. So Afzal must be hanged.

The punishment should match the crime and not the caste, creed or religion. Or does one want to prove that one can do any thing and just walk away. If our justice system goes like this then there will no one alive every one will be killing every other person, just because no one gets a punishment fit for the crime. So what kind of security is the govt. promising to the common man by forgiving every big criminal.

I oppose death penalty due to my principle opposition to it on humanitarian grounds. A government committed to protect the liveves and properties of the common people, can not take away their lives. It also never proved determential to check crime rate. So I strongly oppose death penalty and one who sought its removal from the statue of all the governments.
But Iam not against the government taking punitive measures against criminals. Life sentence need not be releasing them after eight of nine years. It should be life. Government may opt alternate punishments, that are not against to the international human rights principles, but not resort to death penalty.
In the case of Afzal, the both opposition and support to death penalty was on political reasons, part of vote bank politics, but not on principle positions. Such tendency should be condemned.
