My firm opinion is that Indian Govt. should go by its promise which it has given to Portugal Govt. not to give capital Punishment to Abu Salem & Monica Bedi. Otherwise in future no country will have faith in us and it will have far reaching ripple effects while controling international terrorist activities.
I think more than "GALLOWS" which causes immidiate death to the culprit the sustained slow torture is more effective way to control such activities. Such a person should be publically be humilated & such anti national should be taken to Court rooms every now and day . He should be highlighted by the media also in negative terms so that it gives a message to other terrorists waiting in the wings to hold on and rethink about their future once if caught.
After all what picture our International society needs is that India is not a soft state and It honors the commitments made at International level apart from the fact that India can handle terror and related activities with firm hand.
I think every terrorist will opt for "PHANSI KA FANDA" instead of daily public humilation . In other words if we hang him/her it will be sort of fullfilling his wishes & which shud b avoided
