EITHER HANG KASAB OR LET HIM GO....

Believe it or not Indian government has been squandering Rs 8.5 lakhs per day on Ajmal Kasab, sole surviving 26/11 terrorist. By 26^th November 2009, Indian government had spent a staggering Rs 31 crores during his one year stay  at Arthur Road jail. Now that we have been feeding Kasab for over 30 months, our expenses must have piled up manifolds. Additionally the monorail route near the jail was redrawn at a cost of Rs 44 crore because of Kasab’s security. Adding all these, India’s total expense on Kasab might just have touched triple digits(in crores). This appears most hilarious in the face of the fact that loss to public property due to Mumbai attacks was estimated to be 41.72 crore. Loss to public exchequer in keeping Kasab alive has already overshadowed the actual loss due to the incidence itself.

Infamous Mumbai attacks (known worldwide as 26/11) killed  at least 166 people, including 17 policemen and NSG commandos, and left  293 critically wounded^. The mayhem created at CST, Hotel Taj, Trident, Nariman House and other strategic locations need no introduction. Kasab was the only terrorist who could be captured alive, nine others where gunned down. Kasab was accused of directly killing seven people, conspiracy to commit murder for the deaths of the 166 people killed in the three-day terror siege, waging war against India, causing terror, and of conspiracy to murder two high-ranking police officers.

With the testimony of around 250 witnesses and strong forensic evidence including DNA samples and live CCTV footages, the case against Kasab was the strongest that Indian Judiciary ever had. One finds it hard to figure out for why his trial didn’t begin before 17^th April. When it took nearly five months for the trails to begin, expectation of an early outcome was always unjustified. On 6^th  May 2010, the trial court sentenced him to death on four counts and to  life sentence on five other counts. Bombay high court upheld the death sentence on 21 Feb 2011. Final verdict on his mercy petition to the Indian president is yet to come.

Quite in contrast to this, it took USA less than an hour to crack down on Abbottabad hideout of Osama-bin-laden and kill him. US army made no attempt to arrest Osama. Ofcourse, when evidences are so strong , there is not much room for arguments and trails

India can't defend its inefficient judiciary in the garb of ensuring the ‘fair’ trail. In fact, we are being unfair to all the martyrs and family members of 26/11 attacks by being reluctant nad lethargic to Kasab’s case. Court had live CCTV footage, DNA samples and hundreds of eye witnesses- what else does it need to hang a man who committed such a heinous crime???
Given the slow pace of things, Kasab is all set to celebrate his 3^rd anniversary on Indian Soil. While he is alive, it would keep burning hole in government's pocket which is bent upon wasting the tax payers hard earned money.

Pakistan has achieved more what it had expected and would be most happy to see Kasab alive for years to come all the while corroding our economy. . India has been accusing Pakistan of inaction against the 26/11 master minds. But Its own action till now  has been no better.Moreover, India has set a bad example and has emerged as a soft nation against terrorism.

Its high time now. Either hang Kasab or let him go....
Why should we bear his expenses?India has not learnt lessons from its past. Keeping such terrorist alive risks our national security and  is a clear invitation to a catastrophe similar to Kandahar incident. 

Its time we come out of our deep slumber…..

Its time we revolt against the corrupt political set-up…

Its time we overhaul our obsolete judiciary…..

Its time we ensure justice to 26/11 martyrs….!!!!

THE COUNTDOWN HAS ALREADY BEGUN…
