The judge who sentenced Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru to death has hit out at opposition members for backing students who allegedly participated in an event at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in his support.

Former High Court judge SN Dhingra, who had heard the 2002 Parliament attack case said that the "same politicians could have been killed" in the terror attack.

"If the group of which Afzal was a part been successful, and many people wanted them to succeed, then those Parliamentarians who are today siding with them, what if 40 -50 of them were killed?  The whole scene in India would have been different," Justice Dhingra said, adding, "So do we want to celebrate Afzal martyrdom day since only 15 common citizens died?"
