In the last parliament election JDU did not find any problem in supporting L.K. Adwani as the Prime Minster candidates for NDA. Remember Adwani was the main force behind the Ram Janboomi issue and also supported the demolition of Babri Masjid Openly. The demolition of Babri Masjid resulted into massive communal violencess across the country and hundreds of innocent people lost their life. This history of communal face of L.K. was not a problem to the JDU either during Vajpai Regime or later when they decided to back L.K. as P.M. Candidate.
Hence the recent resolution of JDU indirectly asking the BJP not project as Modi P.M. Candidate because of his non secular face seems to be not very much convincing. It seems that JDU is having some hidden agenda behind this resolution. It is for them to come out of the Front if they did not like Modi as P.M. Candidates. No party can dare to make such kind of resolution if they wants to be part of a front. It seems that this resolution had backing from some BJP leaderships who really wants to keep Modi out of central leaderships. Obvious reason such move is not a secret at present. It is now more and more clear is that Majority of BJP leaderships will try to prevent Modi to be named as P.M. Candidate.As par us secular face is concerned it seems that the term is more and more vague in this country. In reality it will be very difficult to find out a non communal leader in the country as most of the leaders are shown their communal face . Barring few leaders majority are either communal or castiests. Can any body says that Mulayam Singh and Mayawathi are secular ? No, they are not secular at all; they are talking about separate section of the people. when ever they are in power they tried to give benefit to particular communities . Even Nitish Kumar who claims to be representing a particular community is not secular. Either cast or religion leaders are always interested in vote banks. Such kind of leaders can't be secular any more which every body should understand. Don't use this word only with an intention to prevent a particular person ? If JDU wants secular person in the top post you should not have supported L.K. Adwani. So stop this nonsense at the moment and come out with clear evidence.

What is this secular face which JDU talking about

Need to re frame principle in the matter of death sentence.
The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed death row convict and Khalistani terrorist Devinderpal Singh Bhullar's plea for commutation of his death sentence, a ruling that can have an impact on 17 other convicts, including those held guilty in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination, facing execution.
Delivering the operative portion of the judgement in a packed room, a Bench of justices G S Singhvi and S J Mukhopadhaya said that the petitioners for Bhullar failed to make out a case for commutation of sentence.
"The petitioner has failed to make out a case for commutation of death sentence to life imprisonment on grounds of delay," said the Supreme Court.,,,
This judgment clearly shattered the hope of many of the death convicts who are languishing in Indian jails for more than one or two decades. Though I have some professional interests in the matters pending before the Hon'ble Supreme court, as I am the counsel on record for the convicts of Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, this opinion is not influenced by that professional interests.
We can see that human nature behavioral, approach, attitude , thinking, presumptions and relation ships are not always statics in any ones life. Each individual gets changed in different circumstances. We can say some bodies lifes births and deaths takes place several times. A person who is very fundamentalist yesterday get transformed into another form of philosophy today because of some other circumstances. Due to this kind of basic principles no body can assure that any body will live with any one of basic principles or philosophies in his entire life span . So transformation is possible in every bodies life.
Due to this reason the Supreme court of Our Country has formulated a legal principle in the matters of death penalty and basic grounds for such principle is that death penalty can be awarded in rarest of rare cases. The cases in which death penalties were given by the highest courts of the land are very clearly distinguishable from the general cases . The elements of in- human nature of the accused were highlighted by the Apex courts in those judgments. This kind of inhuman nature makes the accused a non suitor to live in a cultured society. There was no other principles discernible from the decided cases. The present question thus arises from the changed circumstances that is as to whether in view of the lapse of long period in between the actual commission of offence and the final confirmation of the death penalty accused will remain non suitor to live in a cultured society?
It revealed that the transformation taken place in various accused's life during their period of incarceration. If a first hand study is conducted it can be proved that the accused in several cases changed their views and prescriptions about their life. They are really hoping for a chance to get another life. There are such examples in the past also where the death convicts, who got relaxation in their sentence, leading a peaceful and clam life. One notorious criminal who escaped from death penalty is now working as security guard in Kerala. Why not such a chance is is given to the various accused who are already suffered life term of their sentence in Jail . I think judges of our country should try to realize the transformation path of a human life. No political consideration should be a guiding principle in the matter of death sentence. If you are not having the power to give life to any body don't take it. that is all. ( Thamasoma Jyotir Gamaya )
