MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi questions Modi's decision

The Hyderabad Lok Sabha MP questioned whether those responsible for killing people during riots should get death penalty.
“Kodnani and Babu Bajrangi were convicted by a court, which sentenced them to life imprisonment in connection with the killing of 92 persons. The prosecution wanted capital punishment. But Modi, who was then Gujarat Chief Minister, asked prosecution not to appeal against the ruling (in HC) and let the punishment be life sentence,” the MIM leader alleged.
“Shouldn’t those who killed 92 persons get death sentence?...when should capital punishment be awarded?,” the 46-year-old controversial politician asked. He was addressing a public meeting here last night on the occasion of 7th death anniversary of Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi.
