Along with some eastern countries, many western and European countries are against capital punishment and they are trying to abolish it from the world. The recent rape case in India has revised the debate of capital punishment. Now many seculars and liberals are also demanding execution for the six suspects. The Indian home minister has said in a statement that the Indian government will take steps to amend the criminal law so that the death penalty could be applied to particular cases of rape.
Islam also suggests strict punishments in such cases. So, we should not fall for such worldly deception and should move to Divine resolution for a perfect constitution.
