Editorial viewpoints

  • Why was a hardened criminal like him released ? Will it be wrong to demand investigations on whether he committed so many murders and thefts with the connivance of Police ? 
  • Such a criminal should be hanged. Crimes continue in this country because no action is taken against such criminals. People have started feeling that committing minor crimes is hardly any crime. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that all party rulers are responsible for such a state of affairs which is very unfortunate for this country !
