This “true hero” Maqbool Butt that you are eulogising, started the whole cycle of sickening violence with his murders. Hijacking innocent passengers and holding them under threat of death was another of his heroic deeds. Even more heroic was his clemency petition to President of India!

His followers emulated his heroism by abducting and slaughtering an unarmed civilian diplomat. They wanted to blackmail India into releasing their clemency-seeking hero. But for a change, India displayed some guts (wonder where they came from. Ever since then, we have been kneeling in front of the Jehadi thugs of Hurriyat every day) and showed them the middle finger. Mawbool was then taken to the well-deserved gallows to die a “hero’s” death!

Since the so-called Azadi-digging crowd is full of liers and hypocrites, I do not expect them to acknowledge that it was this “hero” and others like him who legitimised the cult of violence against innocents in J&K. As ye sow, so shall ye reap. Better stop crying about AFSPA and Army operations!
