Justice not to be hanged
For fascist fangs to grow
By hanging Yakoob Memon in an unparalleled haste all the estates of the Indian state have stood naked before the criticism that a fascistic content has begun to possess them and the virtues of a republic have been replaced by discriminatory, obscurantist and vindictive concept regarding justice. The glaring miscarriages of justice were evident in the judgment, in the ways and means by which the pleas for justice by the appellant have been rejected; and in the acts of the executive that repelled all the voices of reason. Preperations for hanging had even become an object of running reporting like that of some festivity. Even memorandums pleading not to delay hanging were accepted and publicised by the Maharashtra State Government.
To a civilized people, and the democratic course of a country that they cherish, jurisprudence must stand free from being resonated by the cry for vengeance; as all of it would disfigure and consume the rational solidity of the wisdom that impartial exersise of justice essentially needs to have. Beyond Monarchy, Theocracy, Dictatorial rules and Military Junta the republic kept the beacon of objective and rational jurisprudence high; and, from the opening days of independence our nation had begun its travel in the road to future lead by the light of it. Once again Modi Raj has twisted this upright path degenerating the democratic course, soiling the essence of secular existence and dismembering the content of sovereign legal system by Hanging Yakoob Memon , even while the nation mourns the demise of a former president who had opined against death sentence.
We condemn this sinister act and call upon democratic, secular and patriotic forces to rally in protest to it.
