Rashid is not a criminal because he hadn't actually killed the women, he had been forced to believe that. Asad did not break his promise to his Ammi, it was all Zoya's plan and if we want to look at it that Asad did break his promise than so did Ayaan so their equal in this part. As for supporting him Ayaan has done the same, he supported Asad when everyone thought that he had slept with Tanveer, Ayaan did not believe that. Ayaan came to Asad when his parents had a fight because he knew that Asad will know what he is feeling, it wasn't selfish but immaturity at that point.
What you would have done here is provided an example that is sheerly working against your argument. I'm not going to argue against the fact that Asad has been an imbecile on multiple occasions. Regardless, I will say this: none of those occasions pertained to Ayaan. He has always been gentle and loving with Ayaan. A mentor of sorts.
@bold: Let me get this straight. You are saying that because Ayaan said that his brother slept with another woman in order to run away from an unwanted, he's all saintly? I'm sorry to say that the particular scene you are referring to had the opposite effect on most people. By uttering that statement, all Ayaan showed was that in all these years of avant garde self-absorption, he has failed to understand his brother. And let's face it. He never tried. It has always been about "I wish I knew what's troubling Ammi. I'd kill the person that haunts her thoughts".
