Editorial Perspectives

• The verdict given in 2025 for a bomb blast case in 2013, is not justice but injustice.

• Now these terrorists will knock the Supreme Court’s door. How many years will that verdict take,no one knows. If the death sentence is upheld there, terrorists will reach out to the President with mercy petition. How much time will that take,no one knows. Even if the mercy petition is dismissed, when will the execution of death sentence take place, is uncertain.
