Verdict - Still Pending

November 26, 2008, the day when the whole nation was numb to the cries of freedom from the hands of terrorists. The busiest city in India was standing still and smitten. The terrorists attacked the major hotspots of Mumbai such as Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Taj Hotel, Leopold Café, Nariman house, Oberoi Trident killing more than 300 people intimidating a billion. Kasab was the only terrorist caught alive.

It has been nearly 18 months. Kasab, who has got no right to live in this world, is still alive, thanks to our judiciary. The costs for his security, food goes from the tax payer’s money. And there is a lawyer from the government to defend him(Bullshit, I don’t care about the damn law. If he is guilty and the whole nation is a victim, just kill him the next second). I remember reading in the news a child identifying him and shedding tears for killing his parent. If this is the impact he had created, what is the point in wasting money, time and so many man-hours? I do agree some critical info can be extracted from him, but for how long?

Today(May 06) is the final judgement for Kasab’s case. Hopefully he gets a death sentence. If he gets a life sentence, someone would plead him for mercy after 20 years(as in Nalini’s case in the assassination of Mr.Rajiv Gandhi). It’s high time the judiciary in India expedite its process in giving judgements. It’s good to be generous for humans but not for mad dogs.

“If I have to stretch my dictionary, the only phrase that comes to my mind is a mad dog. While there is a law for cruelty against animals, there has been no provision yet for animals in the shape of human beings” – Ujjwal Nikam, Public Prosecutor
