Yakub Memon: New Cause Célèbre Of Indian Liberal

On a trip to a really small town (Falakata) in northern part of West Bengal, I saw an unusual appeal painted on the side of a building. It said – “Free Black Activist Mumia Abu Jamal”. Having spent some time near Philadelphia in the US, I knew exactly who this guy was. Born Wesley Cook, this man (who later converted – hence the name) was convicted of shooting a policeman to death. Since his conviction, this killer has found enormous support amongst leftist idiots from all walks of life. However to have found support in an essentially a no name town speaks volumes of our leftists. A once prosperous state of West Bengal was going down the drain and these morons were worried about some cop-killer from the US. Yes. That is the nature of the Indian left. With no real Indian heroes (at least in their perverted minds) they look up to killers like Mao, Che Guevara, Stalin, Castro et.al. Instead of mourning the death of APJ Abdul Kalam they are trying to dismiss him as a substandard Scientist. Why do they do it? Jamal killed a cop. The aforementioned dictators took upon the great evil country of the USA. The hate for Kalam stems from the fact that he had the temerity to give us a big stick to stand up to Pakis and Chinese. You do see a pattern here, don’t you?

The sickening support for Yakub Memon is yet another window into the sick, self-loathing mind of the Indian left. These people who were OK with Congress doing the same to Afzal Guru (without informing his family first) have found another worthless cause to support. Why is it worthless? It is because this man was caught in a trap laid out in Nepal and thus subject to the maximum possible punishment under our law. If he were extradited to India like Abu Salem (who cannot be given capital punishment under an agreement with Portugal) then he could continue to get fat in an Indian jail. This was not a case like that of that of Afzal Guru who was hung (and that too secretly without any information to his family) 12 years after his crime. Memon had well over two decades for appeals (apparently that is defined as urgency on Planet Digvijay) and after exhausting all the avenues, was punished as per Indian Law and that too with his family in the know (unlike Afzal whose hanging was carried out surreptitiously and was supported by the ruler of Planet Digvijay).

Of course all this begs the question that where was this support for the other hangings in India? In the west the Catholics who are opposed to capital punishment will oppose it for even the worst of the worst. Of course for the Indian left the opposition to capital punishment depends upon who neck is in the noose. Could it be that Yakub Memon along with his brother and Dawood Ibrahim carried out the Mumbai explosions in retaliation to something that had the support of Hindu Conservatives?
