President Pranab Mukherjee reversed earlier decision on Ajay Devgn and allots him death penalty
Famous for faster execution of death penalties, India's President Pranab Mukherjee reversed earlier president's decision on signing mercy plea of Ajay Devgn's execution declared in October 1992. Mukherjee signed on the papers of death penalty granted to Ajay Devgn and ordered Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde to execute him immediately.
"This notorious actor received death penalty in his movie 'Jigar' for many murders and tortures. But our kind and humble ex-president Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma signed on his mercy plea. Now it is my duty to stop tortures of many Indians. I will not allow him to live any more," said Pranab Mukherjee.
According to sources, Pranab Mukherjee recently watched Ajay Devgn's movie Himmatwala and immediately asked his colleagues to pull down all the files of actor. The sources said that he immediately reversed the decision of that time president Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma. Dr. Sharma signed on his mercy plea after listening to Ajay Devgn's entire story on why he murdered so many people in Jigar. Accusations on President Sharma were raised for not considering indirect murders of audience which watched that movie.
Mukherjee said "I apologize to nation which faced a serious torture and rape due to movie Himmatwala and ask home ministry to immediately take action and execute this killer (Ajay Devgn) immediately."
President also gave tribute to martyrs who died after watching the entire movie 'Himmatwala' and announced Rs.5lakh to their families. All the families which faced the damages from the movie welcome President Mukherjee's decision.
"I am glad that our request for serious punishment to Ajay Devgn was considered by President. Now my husband Sunil will rest in peace. I also promise my precious vote to Congress Party in the next elections," said Lucknow based Sukanya Sharma.
