I do not believe in death penalty because I think it is not a good way of delivering justice. If we are sending a message to the society that a justice has been delivered by killing someone, then it sows the seed of violence instead of lessening it. But I was quite amazed by Prachanda’s claim of punishing King while he’s been as responsible for the deaths occurred in past decade, and destruction of country’s infrastructures. And Miracle while you said “Maoist are going to make provision for death penalty in the new constitution (within 5 yrs according to Prachanda) and hang everyone who are against them”, I wonder what they will do if the provision is rejected. Will they again pick up arms and enter the jungle for another people’s war just like they did when the political parties rejected their demands in the parliament? And why does Prachanda mention 5 years? While he seems to be fine with People’s choice of government, does he believe for sure that people will choose him or does he believe that he will sideling the political parties and take full control and no matter what or how, he will be the head of state in 5 years? After this interview and the changes in his political beliefs, I would think more than once before believing in them. Hoi na ta?
