The tweets that have got the government's back up.


Digvijaya Singh on Yakub Memon's execution:

"Yakub Memon hanged. Exemplary urgency and commitment has been shown by Govt and Judiciary in punishing an accused of Terror .


"I hope similar commitment of Govt and Judiciary would be shown in all cases of Terror irrespective of their Caste Creed and Religion.


"I have my doubts the way the cases of other Terror accused are being conducted. Let's see. Credibility of the Govt and Judiciary is at stake.


"What a coincidence ! Funerals of Two Indian MuslIms on the same day. Dr Kalam who has made every Indian proud of his achievements for India.


"And Yakub Menon who has by being associated with those involved in terror  brought shame to the whole community."


And Shashi Tharoor's tweets:


"Saddened by news that our government has hanged a human being. State-sponsored killing diminishes us all by reducing us to murderers too.


"There is no evidence that death penalty serves as a deterrent: to the contrary in fact. All it does is exact retribution: unworthy of a Govt."
