Abolition of death penalty

We cannot run our state affairs at the tune and music of western countries and donor agencies. The socio-economic and political situations in our country are totally different from theirs. If our per capita income is 350 US dollars, their per capita income varies from USD 20,000 to 40,000. If they live in air-conditioned buildings, we live in tin-shed and thatched houses.

The governments of some countries like the USA, the UK and Israel take pride in upholding human rights, freedom and democracy, but in the guise of the so-called war on terrorism they shoot and kill hundreds of innocent people and freedom fighters, violating human rights.

It would be a great disaster and a catastrophe for our law and order situation if we do away with death penalty and do not sentence to death the notorious criminals, murderers and terrorists.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, tit for tat and crime and punishment should always go side by side.
