NEW DELHI, Jun 26: Government on Friday said the execution of death sentence of Afzal Guru, convicted in the Parliament attack case, was being delayed as "you cannot pick, choose and hang" and there were many mercy petitions pending for long.

"You cannot pick, choose and hang. Nowhere does it happen in the world including Pakistan," law and justice minister M Veerappa Moily told a 'meet the press' programme organised by press association here.

Noting that no country which has rule of law can have such a hanging carried out "at the discretion of any political party", Moily said there was need for evolving a mechanism for quick disposal of mercy petitions.

He said 28 mercy petitions were pending for disposal for long.
