CAPITAL PUNISHMENT – Mr. Negative:

Is capital punishment really necessary? Of course, it is definitely necessary in a land where one can get away with shooting a lady in front of fifty eyewitnesses who have absolutely no morality or guts to stand up against the accused, a land where a person is forced to bribe money to take the corpse of their brother “who had committed suicide because he could not pay back his loans”. These incidents prove the fact that even death comes with a price. What is the meaning in giving a life sentence and releasing the criminal on a national holiday, if you are sure that he will not correct himself and has a chance of committing further crimes? This is exactly what Lord Krishna says in the Gita. In fact, the latest concept of shooting local goons in the name of ENCOUNTER is an even better measure. Arresting and trying them in a court of law is nothing but sheer waste of time, waste of money, waste of energy, waste of resources, waste of everything. The next day, comes a call from an MP or an MLA and the gangster is escorted back to his bungalow in a police car. How utterly ridiculous!!! But first, the basic postulate of our Indian constitution that “an accused is innocent until proven guilty” must be changed to “ an accused is guilty until proven innocent” as in the Greek constitution. Giving a death sentence is like using a fungicide. These worms have the right to be killed. Criminals these days fear of nothing… not the law, not the police, not the people. Their only fear is their LIFE. And if that is assured for them…
