"My father was a Prime Minister. My grand mother was also a Prime Minister, but I did not get justice. My father was killed by a bomb. Forty people were involved. It has taken 17 years, but still there has been no punishment," he told students of the H N Bahuguna University in this hill state.
He was asked why Parliament attack accused Afzal Guru has not yet been hanged.
"The issue is not why Afzal is not being hanged. Our legal system is very slow," said the Congress general secretary.
He blamed the ‘slow’ Indian legal system for that but said he had ‘full faith’ in the judiciary and had no complaints about it.
The Congress MP said he never complained why his father's killers were not hanged. "I believe in the legal system of the country. I will get justice but it will take time."

it is not legal system as afr as afzal is concerned but sheer vote bank politics of his aprty that should be blamed. wish he rahul could bring a fresh air thinking in political calculus in this country
Our legal system is slow because his dress conscious Home Minister is warming the files for last 5 years. The court has already pronounced the judgement.
The issue is with the alliances Congress is going with ,they are not allowing to take bold decisions as in the case of Afzal guru.With respect to rajiv gandhi's death,the alliance with DMK is the hindrance,they were party to his assasination indirectly and all the way supported LTTE .Who is to be blamed is the parties you are aligning with,with compulsions around you are not able to take decisions and in politics i guess you will tag the way others are leading you.
