Kasab, Jihad, Mercy Plea, and Indian laws..

Tweet

So ..Kasab lost his case in Supreme Court. Nobody expected him to win anyway. The advocate got a few more bucks in his bank I suppose. For those who dont know who (Mohammad Ajmal) Kasab is - he is a young terrorist who along with a few others was responsible for terror attack in Taj Hotel in Mumbai. There is a small Jew baby who has lost both his parents in the process. That information is shared just to make the terror attack seem more than mere statement. Now, there were honest police officers who captured this guy. This is the only one they managed to capture. Rest of the terrorists died..the Jihad fashion. In the process one policeman Omble died. Now..today Kasab files a mercy plea with the president of the country to spare his life. THAT CANT BE JIHAD can it? In fact, the guy should have not filed any cases in any courts if he was willing to die! So what do I want? I dont want him killed. Why? He can identify several others who were trained along with him. So he is a potential witness and a person who can reveal a lot of things about such terrorist training programs. There is also another reason why I hope my president does have mercy on this kid. He must only have been a kid when he was inducted in the terrorist outfit. He only did what he was told for a little money. When there is inadequate money to feed self and family, and few job opportunities around, boys can be tempted to take up such things. Objective is preserve self and family and not go on killing spree. On his own, he might never have done that but for his financial problems. It is not his ideological objective. It is his financial plight that drove him into it. Perhaps, in the same situation, I might have been no different. What about you?
