Earlier, Mullah Nooruddin Turabi, one of the senior Taliban leaders and founder member of the Taliban, has said that such punishments keep people in fear and people think twice before punishing.
In an interview given to the news agency AP, Turabi said, there are strict laws against crime in many other countries too, we do not oppose it, so no one should object to our law. In this interview, Turabi said that those who commit a mistake or a crime will be given punishment like the death penalty and amputation of body parts, but this time perhaps such punishments will not be given publicly. Punishment like chopping hands is necessary for the security of the country.
