New Delhi: The Congress party leaders condemned the execution of Saddam Hussein saying it was carried out with "undue haste" but hoped the "unfortunate event" would not stand in the way of restoring normalcy and reconciliation in Iraq.
The party said that there has been palpable "procedural deficiencies" in the way the trial process has been executed. "The undue haste in execution does not carry any credibility," Janardhan Dwivedi, AICC General Secretary and party's media department chief said in a statement in New Delhi on Saturday.
"They validate our previously expressed apprehensions regarding ad-hoc victors' justice and therefore, we condemn it," he said.
"Nevertheless, we hope that this unfortunate event will not stand in the way of the process of restoring normalcy and reconciliation in Iraq," he said.
"Earlier we expressed our concern and appealed not to execute the death sentence. Unfortunately, this has not happened," he added.
