Mumbai's Butcher and human rights

Kanchan Gupta

Now that the din of national outrage over the death and destruction in Mumbai, caused by 10 Pakistani fidayeen of whom one has missed the bus to jannat and thus left 72 gossamer-clad, kohl-eyed houris distraught at being deprived of the privilege of leading him through the pearly gates to the limitless pleasures that lie beyond, human rights activists and their cohorts in media have begun to crawl out of the holes in which they have been hiding since November 26. For the past couple of days, they have been crowding the studios of 24x7 news channels and airing their views dripping with compassion for Ajmal Amir Kasab, also known as, and justifiably so, 'The Butcher of Mumbai'.

Displaying utter contempt for the national mood and flaunting their perverse notion of what constitutes justice, they have started demanding that Kasab's 'human rights' should be protected. There is no evidence as yet to suggest that the 'human rights' of this terrorist are being trampelled upon by an uncaring, cruel state, unless we are to believe that his detention at an undisclosed safe house, in a room with a high ceiling to ensure that he cannot commit suicide, where he is being served wholesome hot meals, amounts to a gross violation of his 'human rights'.

What can be more disgraceful than: “ Union minister doubts terrorists killed Karkare, backtracks
The "minister" is the Hor'ble [intentionally spelt like this] Antulay. The Hor'ble Antulay snidely suggests that Karkare was killed by Hindus because he had discovered Hindus were involved in the Malegaon blasts.
When we have Deshadrohis like this in the Union Council of Ministers, how can we ever succeed in fighting Pakistani terror attacks?
