'Hanging Terrorists Reduces Us To Their Level': Tharoor Debates 1993 Blasts Victim

Speaking not specifically on the Yakub Memon case, but on the "larger principle of what we stand for as a society", he asked 1993 blasts victim Kirti Ajmera , "Is the state the same as the kind of terrorists who have done him this harm?
