Man hanged, humanity dies!

Laddu anyone? Something to sweeten your day!

This is the picture that greeted readers of the international news today (Nov 22nd). A group of people distributing sweets to the public and in some places having street dances and lighting firecrackers because the law of the country had the courage to hang the Bombay bomber of 2008, 26th November, railway station massacre, Ajmal Kasab of Pakistan. Sure, his and his accomplices' actions have been the cause of many a teardrop and devastation to befall on the nation. This is not, however, the end of the 'tit for tat' action and reaction but just a trigger that would eventually leave the whole world blind.

Ajmal Kasab

The grieving siblings of the jihadist and the parents who had so much hope on this young man are bound to call for blood.

On a short-term, the hanging could seem to pacify the widow of the constable who was killed in the tour of duty in apprehending Kasab and the family of the grieving victims. On a humanitarian viewpoint, it is pure ludicrousness to enjoy on the account of the death of a fellow human as if another death will make up for the 175 who died on 26/11/2008!

Diwali again? Pakistan Murtabad?
