On the platform of face book, I am following a nice personality, named as Zain I Syed. On one post of Sir Abbas Baig, Mr. Zain I Syed has expressed his views on the current executions to terrorists very briefly and I am copying here his all the words for discussion among my all face book friends. --- An eye of eye will make the whole world go blind - Mahatma Gandhi Pakistan has started off on the wrong foot here. Anger has a way of deluding our sight and dimming the line between right and wrong. It is exactly this that is happening to most of us; we are being lured by feelings of revenge and demand the public executions of all those who are on death penalty, irrespective of whether these will end the threat of militancy. Rushing convicts to death without allowing them to exhaust all appeals represents a breakdown of law and process. The substantive laws, no matter how just, cannot ensure justice. They are dependent on the procedural laws in order to be fully materialised in spirit. Where the procedure breaks down or is rather conveniently overlooked, all the substantive laws are reduced to mere carcasses. The pictures of hanged persons are already going viral on web in violation of further international norms. The state must adhere to law and be reticent before carrying out draconian sentences – rather than appease a public demand for blood. If we demand blood in return for blood, then what is the difference between us and those demons that attacked our children’s school? All of these terrorists are people who were recruited, trained, brain washed and armed by our army to fight its wars. Frankly, I doubt if our Army can fight its wars anymore because for the past 40 years it is dependent on these people to fight its wars!
