26/11 court to sentence Kasab on May 6
LD KASAB
Mumbai, May 4 (PTI) The 26/11 court on Tuesday fixed
May 6 for sentencing Ajmal Kasab in the Mumbai attacks case
after the prosecution pitched for death penalty for the
Pakistani terrorist and the defence pleaded for leniency given
his young age.
Special judge M L Tahaliyani reserved his judgement
for Thursday after public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam and defence
counsel K P Pawar wrapped up their arguments on the quantum
of sentence to 22-year-old Kasab, who was held guilty of mass
murder and waging war against the nation on Monday.
"Such a monster should be given death penalty...He is
an agent of devil himself. If Kasab is given lesser
punishment, India will become a soft target for every
self-styled terror group," Nikam said in his arguments over
quantum of sentence.
Nikam described the killing of 166 people in the
terror strikes as a rarest of the rare case fit for awarding
death to the convict.
"There has been a high degree of cruelty and Kasab had
total disregard for life. Kasab is a killing machine and such
machines are manufactured in Pakistan," Nikam told the court.
Nikam said, "Kasab has lost every right to live. He
was not happy after killing 72 persons and wanted to kill
more."
He said Kasab was in a joyous mood after seeing
people dying in pain and agony after opening indiscriminate
fire at the bustling Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and
elsewhere on November 26, 2008.
"There was no remorse and he said in his confession
before the magistrate that he wanted to inspire future
'fidayeens' (suicide killers)." MORE PTI SP
