Kasab couldn’t have deserved a better punishment. But with the government saying that he might be hanged by the end of this year if there are no legal hassles just seems to give the whole affair a slight amount of leniency. I know there are legal issues to sort out, documentations to be filed…but hey! It’s been over a year to the day when Kasab raged mayhem in Mumbai and was arrested for his doings. Doesn’t an extension of more than a year plus a couple more months till the end of this year equals two whole years, amount to too much life for someone who dealt death to innocents so bluntly?

I’m not too aggressive nor would I ever support capital punishment by getting swayed away in emotions. But when someone commits a reckless act, then he deserves an equal punishment for it. But what is the point of a severe punishment if it comes in too late? Does it serve justice in full measure? Perhaps I speak out of strong sentiments I feel for Mumbai, it being my place, or for all those hundreds of people whom I didn’t know but died at the hands of merciless terrorists. But in my opinion, a just case doesn’t imply giving an appropriate sentence alone. It also means executing it in a timely manner.
