We dont give the choice to families, thats why we elect the government. If I had a family member then i dont know if I would be saying the same thing, but it is the government that has to make a decision because they are the one who have all the information. For a lot of families Maulana Masood Azhar is just another person but our government and army knows what he can do. Ex- Parliament attack and july 11 directly attributed to masood. We can only learn from a lesson which is.
1/ Speed up the judiciary. Masood was arrested in early 90s why did we take so long. Our judges where busy taking bribes so didnt have the time to think about judgements.
2/ The captain himself requested in amristsar that somebody shoot a tire so the flight wouldnt go from there and we could have mounted an attack in a favorable situation. the government was too late to react.
3/ In Kabul every effort should have been taken to take a commando attack.
But the bottom line is dont release him for any reason. Becasue if you let it happen once it is bound to happen again.
This is what KPS gill was saying about this whole thing on rediff many years ago.
