I didn’t receive Afzal clemency papers: Kalam

New Delhi, July 27
Former President APJ Abdul Kalam has answered critics over the delay in deciding on the mercy plea of Mohammed Afzal Guru, facing a death sentence for his role in the terror attack on Parliament, contending that he had not received any papers from the Government.

“Regarding Afzal Guru, I have not received any papers from the ministry concerned so far,” Kalam said, while responding to a question asked during an interview to India Today magazine on requests for clemency for persons facing the death penalty, including Guru, which had been pending with him. Kalam had sent Guru's mercy plea to the home ministry for its views. — PTI
