NEW DELHI: India will 'go up in flames' if it hangs a Muslim militant convicted for his role in an attack on Parliament in 2001, former J&K chief minister Farooq Abdullah was quoted as saying.
Last month a New Delhi court set October 20 as the date for the hanging of Kashmiri Mohammed Afzal, triggering violent protests in Indian Kashmir.
"You want to hang him? Go ahead and hang him ... this nation will go up in flames because the terrorists will do things which will destroy the relationship of the Hindus and Muslims here," Abdullah told CNN-IBN news channel.
"Kashmir will anyway go up in flames ... there will (also) be turmoil which India will have to face. I am telling you."
Abdullah, a senior Kashmiri politician whose pro-India National Conference party has often ruled the state, was speaking in an interview to be telecast on Sunday, excerpts of which were released by the channel on Saturday.
Afzal was sentenced to death for his role in the attack when five gunmen stormed the parliament complex.
The gunmen were all shot dead. Kashmiri leaders have said hanging Afzal would fuel a Muslim separatist revolt in Indian Kashmir that has killed more than 45,000 people since 1989.
"You will be making him a hero for centuries to come ...you are giving a massive weapon to the separatists in Jammu and Kashmir," Abdullah told CNN-IBN .
Afzal's wife has asked President A P J Abdul Kalam for clemency for her husband.
It is not clear if the hanging will be carried out on the set date as the President considers the clemency plea.
ROP death cult rants in India. Kill him.
*sigh*
Hang the SOB and tell supporters of criminal religion, "bring it on."
Well then, I guess if executing him promotes him to hero status, his fans can simply respect the state for its benevolence.
Do what we did to Zacarias Moussaoui: Dump him in your deepest dungeon and leave him to rot.
Hang 'em high!
Fine, they should shoot him to death instead.
Yeah, yeah, and the streets of America were going to be "rivers of blood" if Bush was re-elected in 2004. Meaningless babble, I'm sure India is scared. Even UN resolutions have more teeth than these empty threats.
BEHEAD HIM WITH A DULL RUSTY SWORD

Unfortunately, Muslim violence in India is a way of life, and has been since before Partition. It's not like the Dems claiming that they'll lay down their bongs and riot, or the UN yelling that their blue helmet guys will be issued bullets.
FYI.
BTW - have you heard from Gengis lately?
This time around I hope that they have the courage to do it to a terrorist.
Yea because up till now islamofacists in India have been nothing but meek, peaceful little lambs...
They should burn this creep alive instead of hanging him.
L
So, one might ask, how will not hanging him change anything?
How about just blowing the maggots to Hell like the British did to the Sepoys.
Aaaahhhh, I like this picture!
And smear him with pig's blood!
I think I'll get another drink of Bloody Mary! LOL
