Post Omar tweet,J-K MLA moves House resolution for mercy to Afzal Guru

“Let the House resolve that Afzal Guru be granted amnesty,on humanitarian grounds,against the death sentence granted to him by the Honb’le Supreme Court for his alleged involvement in the 13th December,2001 attack on the Indian Parliament,” the resolution submitted by Rasheed read.

The independent MLA said executing Guru can have “serious consequences” on the situation in Kashmir,adding that he expects the resolution to be taken up in the Assembly during its forthcoming session scheduled to begin from September 26.

The move comes in the backdrop of Tamil Nadu Assembly passing a resolution seeking clemency for the killers of Rajiv Gandhi and Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal writing to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking a review of the death penalty handed out to Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar in the attack on All India Youth Congress office in Delhi.
