Security forces in the militancy-plagued state today appreciated Ajmal Kasab’s hanging, but see it as a politically motivated decision of the Congress-led UPA regime ahead of the Gujarat elections.
They questioned the different parameters for 26/11 terror convict Kasab and Parliament attack mastermind Afzal Guru, a man who “had committed a more serious crime than Kasab”.
The Army, BSF, CRPF and the Jammu and Kashmir Police have been combating Pak-sponsored terrorism in varied forms in the state since 1989.
“We appreciate that after following the process of law and giving Kasab all opportunities to defend himself, he was hanged. It has sent a strong message to the world that terrorism will not be tolerated by India,” said a top defence source.

Kasab’s hanging after nearly four years of terror attack also conveyed to the world that India upholds fundamental rights of even those who commit crime against humanity, he said.
On Afzal Guru, the source said he should have been sent to the gallows long back.
“He also went through the same process of law and was held guilty by the apex court in 2004. Though his mercy petition is pending before the President, there is no logic in delaying justice on the grounds of a possible backlash in Kashmir,” said the source.
A senior Army officer, while welcoming Kasab’s hanging, also said that Afzal Guru’s crime was more heinous than Kasab’s.
“There is no reason to delay justice in Afzal’s case and there is no reason to protect him. The Centre perhaps is reluctant because it thinks that Afzal’s hanging may spark protests in Kashmir,” he said.
A CRPF officer, who felt that justice at last had prevailed with the hanging of Kasab, said Afzal’s mercy petition had neither been accepted nor rejected and that life behind four walls of a prison was more severe a punishment than death.
