Not satisfied with Gulberg verdict, fight to continue: Zakia

June 02, 2016 14:33

Zakia Jafri, who has been waging a battle for 14 years to secure justice for her late husband and former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, today expressed dissatisfaction with the verdict in the 2002 Gulberg Society riots case and said she will continue her fight.

"No I am not satisfied with the verdict. I did not like it. All should have been given punishment for what they did and what they did not. I know it all and as I have seen the massacre. I expected all to be convicted... how they killed people, how they made them homeless, I saw it myself," Zakia said.

"I can't dare to ask for capital punishment but maximum punishment should be given. They should be given life imprisonment so they could know the pain of staying away from their family and children," she said.

"My fight should have stopped but looking at today's judgement the fight will continue," she said.
