We have some dreaded terrorists languishing in the prison - Abu Salem . Afzal Guru and Ajmal Kasab and of course many others not so (in)famous.
Our government is of course not sure how to punish them and in the bargain spending several crores of rupees just taking care and maintaining them .
There are many people who feel that they should not be given a death sentence since they are just puppets in the hand of those who are calling the shots from across the border.But , at the same time , the deaths were caused by them and they are adults who are able to think for themselves, so why should they not be held responsible for their heinous crimes...
Should they be given death sentence or Life sentence ?

The laws in India will allow Kasab to enjoy everything which he wants in life... and when he feels that I have nothing to do in this world then the final verdict will be given that too if his family or country doesnt interferes...


Yes that is from his side and from the point of view of the ruling party,general election is an issue and it is better to keep him as he is at least until then....so kasab need not worry for another couple of years...


I think India is having worst Judicial system. He didn't mercy on the people, which he killed, why he should be given mercy?

Here mercy is not a big issue.. the hidden fact is lot of politics run both in India as well as pakistan.. I think mercy will not be given for him but the delay will give him chance to escape or even enjoy whatever he wants... I hope if Indian laws by change even if gives mercy to kasab, the citizens in India would definitely kill him if needed... so govt should be concise in giving the verdict.
Actually mercy is not granted on case based but several factors come in to play. The governments try to linger on such cases to escape from taking any decisions. They play wait and watch.
Recent news headlines says that SC has ordered to give Kasab to be hanged till death. He was among 10 terrorists who attacked Mumbai and killed 166 peoples. These terrorist does not deserve mercy any how.
Yesterday there was a debate on NDTV over this issue and all the great brains of the country argued against it saying how we should rise above the terrorists blah blah...Will they say this if one of their own loved ones had become kasabs target ? No doubt ,there is a lot of arguments including the one where people feel that he will become a martyr and the terrorist outfits will become stronger- so should we keep him forever in the prison supplying him Biriyani everyday ? :unsure:

May I be excused for saying that NDTV is pro Pakistani or the community that lives there. They always speak show/them in better light and speak/represent them. They do not feel ashamed to go against Indian interests, national pride has no value for them. Pro-Pakistan is their USP.
I dont know why Indian government still thinking to be kind such a culprit , the reason of many deaths. I feel he should be hanged or shooted at the centre of the city

LOL, they definitely are anti BJP anyway,one can see it all the time.I feel that media people should keep their personal preferences to themselves instead of openly showing it...
Terrorist should not be shown any mercy.And they should not be kept long time in prison.Instead they should be hang.
Now hanging to death is almost a certainty. But still there is way to delay. How Kasab may delay his death? Here is discussion:

I think in 5 to 6 months, Judge will give the final judgment.

The judgment is already given, now we have to see whether he will pull on like Afzal Guru , who had been given a death sentence some 6 or 7 years ago..

Media is expected to be partial or at least careful enough not to let their biases show, but then where are any kind of ethics remaining in media now>?? That is why I don't like to watch NDTV much, why increase their TRPs!

Yes , at times it can be very annoying especially when they call guests to the studio and dont let them speak,instead give preference to some of their favorites like Renuka Chaudhury,Manish Tiwari :dry:
