Abu Salem is NOT contesting( There are no elections in UP right now)...Afzal has mercy petition pending which takes time to dispose off as a normal procedure. ( Rajiv Gandhi's killers have not been hanged yet as a mercy petition is pending)........So dont be so alarmist or agitated. George Bush could have personally come to Iraq to execute Saddam the next day he was captured. But he was allowed a 2 yr trial. Thats a measure of civil society. We too must not lapse into dark ages to satisfy our medieval instincts.
