I am not a Muslim. I m devout Hindu despite that i petition the president to pardon Afzal. After all we do not know the real story behind the whole episode. Afsal might just be the scapegoat. Mr.Geelani who was arrested under similar charges, was released, and Afzal should not be hanged because unlike Geelani, he never got a chance to defend himself. Everyone was against him, he had no friends in the media, no DU, no JNU, no Jamia was with him, He was helpless.. For all we know, this conspiracy theory could have been hatched by our system which is made up of politicians, bureaucracy etc etc.. I suggest we all watch the 1930's movie Kanoon directed by B R Chopra (Ashok Kumar, Madhubala. It has also the popular songs "aaiye meherba and Mera naam chun chun chu ) . It could be an eye opener to all those who are screaming for Afzals blood.. With at most regards to the martyrs who laid down their lives defending people who are not worth all their efforts, i just would like to remind that our martyrs were victims, and so is Afzal too.. a victim. However, if it is proved beyond any doubt that indeed Afzal is guilty of the crime he is accused of , i will be the first person to petition for his conviction.

And you think, these Questions were never raised in the Court? Have you attended any of the court proceedings? Just wondering -- whether your strong conviction (that he's a victim) based something concrete; than a Bollywood movie
