That sure is an issue - I want to have a lot of people hanged , Afzal Guru included. At the same time - you must know that there are at least 20 people in the queue before Afzal Guru who's mercy petitions are pending who should be gotten rid of their misery of being on the death row.
In a civilized country - law must be seen to be doing justice and not an act of vindictiveness. If Afzal Guru was a true terrorist like Mashud Azhar , who BJP released , maybe I would have extremely shrill about the case...but looks like from various reports that his contribution was minimal and may not even have know what was happening. No one has yet been able to say exactly what role he performed except for uncertified phone records produced in the court and some chits found in the pockets of killers. Unlike Geelani, accused of same thing but is a free man because of a good lawyer, Guru did not have any. Congress has good reasons not to hang this guy and make an absolute nobody into reallying ground for separatist. Let the chap rot in death row in misery - he will die on his own.
