Kasab’ Hanging: A Political Move By Congress

Kasab’s hanging was a political move. Pure and simple. Congress is doing it for selfish reasons. It was like a trump card in a card game. They need to do something to make a difference in Gujarat elections. They need to stem the tsunami of corruption charges against them and turn the enormously negative public opinion against them. I do not know what kind of dividend they would reap but the pro-Congress press has already started to crow over this “achievement”. What the Congress and their chamchas choose to ignore is that if the fickle minded and myopic voters of India can forget mega scams, how long will it take for them to forget this hanging, especially since they well near forgot about this Kasab fellow by the enormous delays in what should have happened a long time ago. If Congress were really this justice oriented then Afzal Guru would be rotting underground somewhere by now. Of course Afzal is an Indian Muslim and thus untouchable by Congress and other pseudo-secular parties. They chose to sacrifice a non Indian Muslim for their survival.

This is all part of the way Congress does business. Everything is about their survival prosperity. This was not about justice. The day they catch the Indian collaborators for the 26/11 attacks is the day I would change my opinion. They went after the Bhindranwale and his terrorists with a vengeance while none of the Muslim terrorists form SIMI and other outfits are still roaming free. Hanging this lone gunman is not like the Americans going after Osama and hunting him like a mad dog. Congress took the easy way out to show that this matter is now closed. FAR FROM IT. It will take a lot more than just hanging of one terrorist to change my mind and hopefully that of any patriotic Indian.

Does all this mean that hanging of Kasab was bad or wrong? I am torn about it. He was just the guy who pulled the trigger. The masterminds who really are responsible are still roaming free and until those people are caught and brought to justice only then will the victims’ families will get closure.

I am not the kind of guy who starts singing “Mere dushman mere bhai” at the sight of Pakistanis. I believe in ripping the enemy’s head and pissing down their throats (in a manner of speaking) like the western armies do. Once the guilt is established beyond a doubt, then people like Kasab should be denied a Muslim burial. Why should we fulfill their desire of martyrdom?

This hanging was done for political benefits and not justice. This hanging still leaves the real terrorists roaming free, either in India or Pakistan. Hanging Kasab is like burning someone in effigy. Symbolic. That is why it does not feel right. I urge the Indian voters to stop celebrating and continue to ask the hard questions from this corrupt and impotent regime led by Gandhi family and Congress.
