Pakistan’s impaired sovereignty
India has once again demonstrated its sovereignty and its odd sense of discretion by executing Mohammad Afzal Guru for his involvement in the parliament attack.
Though they are aware of and may be afraid of the repercussions in the Kashmiri community, they are quite sure that they could handle it. That might apply to the immediate situation though not to the future. Even the Chief Minister of Kashmir Omar Abdullah, otherwise a staunch pro-Indian, has complained that this execution will serve another generation of Kashmiris as proof that they don’t get justice in India.
Still, what a major difference in compariosn to Pakistan where our government is reluctant to execute convicted Indian terrorist Sarbajeet Singh, who has in a video interview admitted to his RAW connection and the killing of innocent Pakistanis by his acts of terrorism at various places, for which he was given the death sentence in 1991.
His mercy petitions, if any, should be rejected and he should be executed immediately without fearing any repercussions or under US pressure which, in order to accomplish its own agenda, wants Pakistan to keep Indo-Pak negotiations on the forefront.
Be it our relations with India or Afghanistan or drone attacks, the Pakistani government has given up its sovereignty and is acting as a satellite to US command. It is time for our rulers to prove as to where they stand.

Poor guy. He think executing Sarbajeet Sigh could solve all killings in Pakistan. Educated guy like you think this way, alas! what about the uneducated masses. You guys are not going to change, thus perish in due course.
Cannot even feed its people, or arrest murders, or even control killers roaming the land freely, or pay its loans back, or survive 1 year without IMF loans, and this post talks about sovereignity?
Do what is correct for you?… don’t do just because India had executed a coward. We will do it 1000 more times if any one acts against our country. Every one is blessed with brains… please use it.
Pakistani are murdering Pakistani in heaps and you are fixating on the execution of the Indian Guru and questioning the country’s sovereignty. First things first Mr. Khan, the people of Pakistan should be protected first.
The day you start believing that all other faith people are also your brothers and sisters, that day will be counted as your real birthday. So you believe that if a criminal from kashmir does some terrorist act in india, he should not be punished because fellow kashmiris will be offended? No brother, india is a secular country. Religion and regionalism plays no role in awarding justice. Take responsibility on your shoulders rather than burdening Allah and Quran.
I agree 100%
Forget Sarabjeet, so many terrorist attacks have taken place, so many held and released.
Not one person has been convicted for terrorism in Pakistan, which itself says that it is biggest victim.
Time for people to think and introspect.
Indian govt took political decision by hanging Guru, who was convicted. It must have taken all factors in to consideration before taking the decision
Executing Sarbajeet Singh will not reinforce Pakistan’s sovereignity. Cancelling Leasing Gwadur to China may do it. Pakistan has always been a client state first of USA and Now of China. It is time the people of Pakistan really take control of their nation
