A major terrorist attack takes place in Mumbai. The whole world gapes, in bewilderment. Disturbing live telecasts of injured people, hapless, lathi-bearing policemen running around in front of AK-47s keep rolling on channels throughout the day. So many innocent people get murdered. Mourning sessions take place. Politicians visit the injured and call for hefty packages. Political commentators on every news channel discuss the degree of heinousness of the incident, criticize and tell what should have been done, instead. City finally sleeps. People of Mumbai proudly boast off their ability of hitting back to life the very next day. Media starts exalting the spirit of Mumbai, be it the local train tragedy or 1993 blasts or for that matter the 26/11 attack.
There is something inherently wrong in this endure-and-forget approach. Though it sets an example and is an in-your-face reply to the terrorists but the unfortunate ramification is that it makes people forget the incident. Only those, who lost their dear ones, can feel the timeless pain.
The burning example is that of Ajmal Kasab. There cannot be a bigger insult of Indian judicial system. The guy who is distinctly caught on cctv footage with a rifle in hand, so many on-lookers available as witnesses. What else do you want to sentence a terrorist? If you are waiting for Pakistan to come forward and say that yes!! he is in fact a Pakistani and a terrorist involved with the Pakistan originated terror outfits, then that would never happen. Pakistani leaders are the brand-ambassadors of SSO (Society of Shitty obstinacy). For two years, that guy is living as a guest on Indian land, on the money of Indian people. It is in fact very embarrassing for Indian people to watch him making demands of chicken or mutton from jail. He says he came to Mumbai to become an actor or sometimes gives a philosophical what-is-sowed-has-to-be-reaped lesson to a politician. He has fun in the court, manipulating the facts, changing his tone and statements in each hearing much to the discontent of people who lost their kin members. This leaves us with a burning question-- WHY THE HELL INDIAN GOVERNMENT IS TAKING THIS SHIT???
It’s about time that we had something concrete with this case. If you ask the common man about what punishment would suffice for him, they will say, that punishment doesn’t exist. But being a civilized nation, the country of Gandhi, we will do everything under the aegis of law. It’s time that those jawans and police officers who lost their lives had attained salvation. This can happen only if the Indian judiciary listens to the mass emotion of the country and the collective sigh of pain saying—
--- HANG KASAB!!!!
