INDIA: ADVANI WILL GO BY SC VERDICT ON AFZAL

Indian NDA Prime Ministerial candidate L K Advani indicated that if voted to power, his government is likely to carry out the death penalty against Afzal Guru, convicted in the December 13 Parliament attack case, if the UPA hasn’t pardoned him by then. When asked what he would do if he came to power, Advani said: “We will go by the Supreme Court’s verdict....unless, by then, this government grants him clemency.”
