Don't cry for the criminals!

Actually we have a bad habit. Sometimes we become over emotional, we start talking about the human rights of the inhuman terrorists. When Ershad Shikdar was in jail and preparing himself to be punished, some of our newspapers and TV channels started shedding tears for him, they were publishing his photo and interviews of his relatives to draw attention of the public. A newspaper also published a long report on Ershad Shikdar's life, his likes and dislikes, his favourite food, his favourite wife, what made him run after Shova (his 2nd/3rd wife),what he wanted to eat before his death. What the hell? They spoke as if Ershad Shikdar was a hero or something! A heinous killer does not deserve affection and sympathy.

As usual, some people are still pleading for the terrorists, trying to save them from crossfire.
