This post is for the idea that Yakub Memon hanging is the same thing as Bhagat Singh hanging.
Only difference is Bhagat Singh was hanged by "British India" whereas Yakub Memon was hanged by Independent India.
Bhagat Singh went against the British rulers and wanted to give 'collective punishment' to the British.
But we can't say same about Yakub Memon because he may not have done anything during the bomb blasts. Only he was the brother of Tiger Memon.
The way he was hanged hastily also speaks ill of India.
I will say when initially on Monday 27th July, the two judge bench gave a 'split verdict' and there was hope that Yakub hanging will get at least postponed, the Govt. hastily went for a 'three judge bench'. The Govt. knew that if even if one judge differs, the other two judges will agree for the death sentence to be carried out and so majority will win and then Yakub will be hanged on the predetermined date of 30th July.
In fact, I was going through the papers and it was found out from a chart giving the timeline that on April this year, this death date of 30th July, 2015 for Yakub Memon was decided and by the happenings of the last week it is clear that even when there was a stay or rather a 'difference of opinion' by the two judge bench, the Govt. went forward with a larger bench to carry out the hanging on the pre-determined date.
The three judge bench was not appointed for reasons of justice but rather for 'miscarriage of justice'
I will say if he was to be hanged then why wait 22 years. After a long stay of 20 years in prison, a man would have suffered enough. He would undergone all forms of torture. Maybe, they killed him to silence him forever.
Again, the circumstances of his capture or surrender remain questionable.
He must have surrendered with the hope that Indian Govt will pardon or at least reduce his sentence but India killed him in col-blood and a lot of people must have gloated about it. It is not a win for India. It is a failure. Many papers would have carried the articles as to how the events happened on March, 1993 was a chain of events happening as a consequence of Babri Masjid demolition and then riots and subsequent killings and hurting of businesses of Muslims.
It is not an isolated case. Also, people will have faith when justice id delivered to all without discrimination.
