New Delhi: Mohammad Afzal Guru's execution has revived the debate over the delay in several other similar cases. While, the Congress has hit out at the Opposition for remaining silent over Khalistan terrorist Balwant Singh Rajoana's death penalty, the BJP has raised questions on Rajiv Gandhi's assassins. Guru, the key conspirator in the 2001 Parliament attack case was hanged to death at 8 am on Saturday, six days after his mercy plea was rejected on February 3 by President Pranab Mukherjee.
