Law will take its course in Afzal Guru's case: Omar

May 11, 2010 17:26 IST

An enraged Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah questioned the media for raking up only the case of hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and said law would take its own course.

"I have not said anything that has changed my previous statement that I made. I believe that law will take its own course," he told reporters here.

Reacting sharply to a reporter, he said, "I believe Afzal Guru is at number 30 in the list of people who are to be hanged."

"Why don't you talk about those whose names appear before him in the list and only focus attention on one person because his name happens to be glamorous," he retorted. "Why do you bring his name all the time and give hype to it," he asked.
