Congress leader Salman Khurshid on October 27 expressed his grief on the death penalty to eight former Indian Navy personnel in Qatar. He added that he can’t say anything until everything is clear. "We cannot say anything until everything will come in front... I can express sadness for what has happened... It is not possible for us to accept that the personnel have done anything due to which they are getting punished...When there are relations between two countries, diplomatic ways can be created...This is an important thing for us because the message goes to the whole world," Congress leader Salman Khurshid said. The Court of First Instance of Qatar has passed a verdict of the death penalty for the eight former naval officers who were detained in Doha, the Ministry of External Affairs said. The MEA said it is "deeply shocked" by the verdict and now awaits the detailed judgement.
