A.G. Noorani had the Capacity to Write a Profound Mixture of Politics, Law and History: C Gonsalves

3 weeks ago 15

Human rights lawyer and senior advocate Colin Gonsalves underlined that senior lawyer, scholar, and writer Abdul Ghafoor Noorani who recently passed away had the capacity to write a “profound mixture of politics, law and history” in a “solid way for generations to follow”. During a memorial meeting held for late Noorani at the India International Centre (IIC) in New Delhi, Gonsalves read from Noorani’s book on Article 370, which said, “Article 370 (1)(d) is not and cannot just be a one-way stream. It has been brought into existence so as to invest the Constitution with requisite resilience in order to respond to ground situations warranting solutions, so that the relationship between the states and the Union is placed on an even keel.” “India today is as far away from abolishing the death penalty as it was when Noorani sahab wrote. When you read about the demonstrations in Kolkata and the call for a death penalty for rapists and the bill drafted by the state of West Bengal, you realise that time has stood still,” Gonsalves said, adding that death penalty is abolished in most countries. Further, Gonsalves also threw light on Noorani’s writings on preventive detention cases in Kashmir and extrajudicial executions.
