Pune, Dec 17:
The Shiv Sena Wednesday warned legal community to refrain from taking the case of Mohammad Ajmal Amir Iman, the lone terrorist caught alive in November 26 Mumbai terror attacks and demanded that he be hanged without trial.
The party, whose workers have already bashed up two lawyers in the state for coming forward to defend Ajmal, said in an editorial in 'Saamana' that the terrorist who was a part of the nefarious design that killed innocent people should be hanged in front of Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST).
The trained terrorists attacked Mumbai, the financial capital of India, in one of the most barbaric acts which were watched by the whole world on television screens.
Those who want to defend them in courts are doing it for money and publicity facilitating their prolonged treatment as government guests, the paper said.
Despite the death sentence, Afzal Guru, guilty of attack on Indian parliament has still survived and the same sequence could be repeated in case of Ajmal in the name of secular and democratic norms, the editorial said.
It further said that the so called human rights groups should be alive to people's outrage and a legal defence of the terrorists would continue to draw reaction from Shiv Sena.
Bureau Report
Let the law take its course. Dispensing with trials, however clear the guilt, would set a bad precedent. What has to be tackled is corruption in legal dispersion. We must have a new POTA-like law to pin any member of the legal fraternity who adopts corrupt practices.
