When a young lad enters his 24th year , it is usually a new beginning for him, a promising start maybe, entrance to the real world to earn and experience but that’s not the case for our guy for he did spent the day in a 10*10 counting a countdown to his impending death. Yes, we are talking about Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving attacker of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, but isn’t it a slap on our face that he is still “surviving”?
It took the honorary Indian Judiciary System a whole two years to have him convicted, not exactly something to brag about, moreover a sum of 10 lakhs(approx) INR is spent daily to keep him in safe custody, not a very commendable way to spend the taxpayers’ hard earned money, keeping in mind the fact that half of our population is still below poverty line.
In a bid to ridicule the government for its handling of the 26/11 court trial, a Pune city group named India Against Terrorism (IAT), held a rally on Wednesday, observing ,Ajmal Kasab’s 24th birthday ,with banners wishing Kasab happy birthday. IAT members told media persons that this was their way to protest against the government’s decision of holding back Kasab’s death sentence.
Many would tag it as immoderate but isn’t it about time to be outrageous and ask for answers that we are entitled to? Were Wednesday’s attacks a tribute to Kasab is still under the fog but, is it fair to the people of India to keep a person found guilty of 80 offences, including waging war against the nation, which is punishable by the death penalty alive for no justifiable reasons providing him with all luxuries and protection.
I would just want to end with the note that terrorism affects the common people and we must stand united to face it with courage and determination.
:D
ReplyDeleteI don't know what difference one death would make, but yes spending that ridiculous amount on a convict isn't a reasonable solution. I think treating him like a convict and making him live among Indian convicts would've been much worse punishment for him.

I don't think indignation will last long, in this nation, it never has and I don't see it happening any time soon.
Like I said bro...I think Indians should have the pleasure of hanging him...and do you really want to sink to his level and have blood on your hands?If you say no then doesn't that apply to other potential hangman candidates as well?And if you say yes,then the prospect hasnt been clearly thought over right? I know you`ll get ticked off about me defending him but the point I`m making is there is no point Killing him...that`s just the easy way out.Though I still think the Indian govt,wankers the lot of them didnt do enough...they should have raided the terror camps so prominently active on the border.We had enough evidence and national will..just the politicians never got off their chairs to do it.
