Asked about Omar's remarks that it will have to be proved to Kashmiris and to the world that the execution of Afzal Guru is not a "selective" one, Dikshit said that this procedure has been unfolding for several months and as and when the President rejected Afzal Guru�s mercy petition, the government took action. "The other cases about which Omar Abdullah has mentioned in his statement, those are also with the President. And the moment it gets cleared from there, I am sure that we will deal with the other cases like we dealt with Guru�s case," the Congress spokesperson said. He said that there is a process to everything and that does not mean that a process has to be jumped. "There is a right of appeal to all people and it is for the president and the government to view whatever fresh evidence may be presented and they will take on view on them. I am sure that the same treatment would be accorded to everyone whose petition is rejected by the President," Dikshit said.
