This is about the infamous Afzal Guru clemency petition... Well the procedure is that once a death convict petitions for clemency, the President needs a report from Ministry of Home Affairs to proceed on the decision... Last year before general elections, opposition parties raised a huge cry about UPA not hanging the convicted terrorist and Mr. P. Chidambaram, the Home Minister of India assured voters that the Home Ministry will forward the report within 2 months of UPA winning the coming elections... Now that Kasab has been convicted and expected to walk the same road, media posed the same question again... This time Mr. Chidambaram had a completely disgusting answer... "Why are you obsessed with this issue like the opposition?" Tell me Mr. Home Minister, why the hell will people be not obsessed by the fact that your ministry isn't letting terrorists hang? Because its your "aam janta" that dies in those attacks, we don't have security blanket like you...
Going into technical side of this mess... The government says that there are currently 57 people waiting for their report to be submitted so that their petitions may be considered by the President... Kasab will be 58th on the list and his report can not be processed before other according to proper legal procedures... But I fail to understand somethings about out Home Ministry:

- Is it really so difficult to process 57 reports in one whole year? That's stupid about a week per convict...
- If you are really working so hard to protect the citizens that you don't get time to write these not-so-important reports, then how the hell people sneak into the country by inflatable boats and unleash hell for 2 whole days?
Once upon a time, High Court of Bombay told Chief Minister to at least tell his people that he doesn't want to do anything about Raj Thackrey... I hope the Supreme Court tells UPA to speak up on the issue sometime in the future...
