Politicians assassination – Murder is obnoxious, be it of a civilian or a politician. It is really appalling to see how some murderers get away with committing heinous crimes. Some of the cases that created a furore, the convict got capital punishment but there have been no slash in crime rates still.

However, when a politician is killed, there is a mighty reason at play and the reason is hunger for power. Politics ad dynasties could never perpetuate without bloodbath if we look at the history.
