Muhammad Afzal Guru convicted of plotting the 2001 attack on the Indian parliament was hanged by Indian authorities on Saturday morning.

Afzal Guru was hanged at 8:00am inside Delhi’s Tehar Jail said Home Minister, Susheel Kumar Shinde and Home Secretary R.K Singh. The Home Secretary also announced that Afzal Guru would be buried inside Tehar Jail.
Meanwhile, curfew has been imposed across occupied Kashmir to prevent people from coming out of their houses to protest the judicial murder of the Baramulla-based, Kashmiri leader, Muhammad Afzal Guru. The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and veteran Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani have called for a 4-day strike against the execution of Afzal Guru.

Syed Ali Gilani in his reaction termed the hanging of Guru “unjust and murder of democracy.” Gilani said that “uur stand on Afzal has been that he was not given a fair trial and his hanging once again proves that the Kashmiris can never expect justice from India. ”
Earlier, Indian President Pranab Mukherjee had rejected the mercy plea Mohammed Afzal Guru
Afzal became the second person to be hanged in India in nearly a decade with Mohammed Ajmal Kasab as being the first, who was hanged to death in a Pune jail in November last year for orchestrating killings in Taj Mahal Hotel of Mumbai. Guru was found guilty of conspiring with and sheltering the militants who attacked the parliament in December 2001. Afzal Guru was given the death sentence by the Supreme Court in 2004.
Moreover, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was in New Delhi on Friday and reports said that he was himself caught unaware regarding the rejection of the mercy plea of Afzal Guru by President.

The authorities have closed the Srinagar-Jammu national high for the day to avert the trouble. Large numbers of para-military personnel have been deployed outside the houses of the separatist leaders to prevent them from coming out on the streets to lead protestors.

    • Some people speak against the hanging of Afzal and Kasaab. These millitaants were the murderer of innocent people. No countary will allow these people to live and the hanging is a very easy killing to them. They should be killed by the people itself with stones by handing them over to the crowed at a public place. Why these people start killng others? If they stop the act of millitancy, every body will live peacefully.

      • Speak in the same tune against Surbjeet Singh, Colonel Prohat and Hindu terrorists. We want Surbajeet Singh an Indian spy and terrorist convicted by SC of Pakistan, to be hanged.

        • SARABJEET IS NOW YOUR BABY BUT THE TERRORISTS WILL FACE TO FACE THE SAME TRPE OF DEATH IN INDIA. IF WE LET THEM FREE THEY WILL TURN HAFIS SAYID IN FUTUE.

          • Muslims were butchered in Gujrat, how many Hindu terrorists were brought to book? It is the dirty double face of so called Indian democracy. Guru's blood is directly injected in the freedom struggle of Kashmir.

    • do u blockhead even understand the meaning of "logic" ????? There was an indian prisoner who some days back was beaten to death in the jail in Pakistan. Islam was meant for desert tribe.. and thats how you live with tribal justice, vendetta and retribution…you dont know how to live in 21st century….

      • What you did in Gujrat with Muslims, with Sikhs in Golden temple and with Christians while burnt their priest. For you logic is your own dirty mind set.

  1. Bastrd Indians, what about those 80000 plus kashmiris martyred by your coward army .
    U indians deserve attacks like that of parliment and taj hotel

  2. Why we are fighting for india and pakistan, why cant we be friends… For yesteryears we are fighting, but what we have got..Nothing…. Guys now its really hard time..please understand..

  3. India is yet to understand the term Terrorist. If hanging Shaheed Afzal is justice done, then each day a security personal involved in killing of innocent kashmiris shoul b hanged. Does it mean that Kashmiris are by default terrorists and the saffronists after killing and burning thousands together are innocents. If the law is such paradoxical then m sorry to say that India is not a Democracy at all.

  4. tday its high time for all of us to recognise terrorism a big threat to humanity.We must condem all sort of terrorism irrespective of our nationalities or religions.Attrocities on innocent people or citizen must be condemned commited either by millitants or militaryor any one in any part of the world because we all are children of mother earth with one origin.

  5. I think India is taking advantage now that Pakistan is occupied with its own internal problems and the problems with Afghanistan.
    Will Indian and Pakistani muslim's become bakra for Indian Army it is getting crazy. Muslim has no life value anywhere in the world.

  6. Dear Pakistan Brothers, greetings from India. The root cause of all your problems is mixing religion in everything. You reap as you sow. Shias are not safe, Ahmediyas are not safe, Hindus are not safe, Christians, Sikhs are not safe in Pakistan, Then who is safe in Pakistan ? In India you do not find these headlines, think for a while and imbibe democratic and secular values in your lives.
