Justification for political assassinations

October 14, 2008 · 1 Comment

Throughout the history of mankind, there have been numerous occasions when the population of a state or country has bayed for the bloods of its leaders. Sometimes they did have reasons to do so though most of the time it was a sway of emotion that caused such outbursts.

George Bush Jr has caused hundreds of American soldiers to be killed for his foolish experiment in Iraq. There is genocide happening in Darfur. Mamata Banerjee in India has caused thousands to lose their land and living leaving them on the verge of suicide.

When a leader destroys the prospect of hundreds or thousands of people, should he or she be killed?

Are political assassinations ever justified?

Tell me in your comments.

    Hi!
    Political assasination is her just punishment.
    She needs to be taught the lesson of her political life.
    She needs to be politically buried and banished from collective memory of the Bengal & Indian politics.
    Let the next elections teach her and many like her not to play around with the aspirations of 9 crore bengalis.When Bengal was being raped by her party hoodlums she was enjoying” sanskritik anusthan”,and fiddling around with a paint brush.
    Let this be a milestone election where her party is thrown from Bengal straight into the Bay of Bengal,never to return & bother us ever again.
    CPM or no CPM we want Mamata out of Bengal.
