Will Kasab be ever hanged?
Despite the conviction of Ajmal Amir Kasab in the Mumbai attacks, it is unlikely that the Pakistani terrorist will be hanged soon. The slow pace of Indian judicial system and lack of political will are giving a breather to the terrorists.
IT SEEMS that Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone terrorists convicted in the Mumbai terror attack case may not be ever hanged with Indian government having virtually taken an indirect decision to suspend death-sentences by going too slow in taking decision on earlier pending 29 petitions. Already Union Home Minister has made it clear that decision on mercy-petitions will be taken strictly in serial-order.

Latest en-block turning of eight death-sentences into life-imprisonment by President of India was done in an unprecedented manner when Union Home Ministry recalled all these files for ‘review’. Earlier, two successive Union Home Ministers had recommended rejection of all these mercy-petitions and their decision to reject mercy-petitions was endorsed by Attorney General. Union Home Ministry should give clarification on unprecedented decision to recall these files for review. After Supreme Court’s verdict, mercy-petitions must be only rarely accepted. Union government should take immediate steps to decide all 29 mercy-petitions within a time-bound period of say three months.

Delay in deciding mercy-petitions creates unnecessary emotional provocations, apart from diluting fear against committing the crime. Rule should be that decision on mercy-petitions is taken within three months of filing the same, and a convict should be hanged within one week of rejection of mercy-petition. Also terrorists can repeat incidents like infamous hijack of IC-814 at Kandhar to get death-convicts like Afzal Guru and Kasab freed from the jails as happened earlier.

By the time when he will be hanged(if he is finally) all the people will even forget about the incident in their day-2-day rush they will be like yea 'arey yeh woh jisne mumbai mein attck kiya tha' and i am saying this coz its already been 10months now and nobody's even bothered to raise their voice. The reason is coz they know their useless gov very well and its just going to fall on deaf ears. Remember how saddam was hanged by US with no delay making people release their strength and by the time we would hang kasab the terrorists would already be ready with their next plan coz its no loss for them they had basically send these people to die in the first place.
A "hardcore terrorist" is able to view the court proceedings through video camera.I don't understand why so much hi-tech facility is being provided for this "enemy No 1" of India.No wonder if he is being served delicious dishes like "Biriyani" and "Kabab"."Hanging" this scoundrel will never be carried out as long as this "Muslim Vote Greedy" government remains in power."Jeeyo Kasab - Mumbai mein aish aur aaram se jeete raho - Tu vakai mein hai bada kismatwala"
