Mumbai Attacks and their impact

[davidbfpo]

Personally I have no problem with India's decision to execute this man, who gunned down many innocents at Mumbai's railway station, nearly four years ago.

The BBC's local reporter, in a good report, noted that:

many believe, the government, beset by allegations of scandal and inaction, timed the execution perfectly.

It came a day before the beginning of the winter session of the parliament, where it's primed to face a noisy and tough opposition. It also came five days before the fourth anniversary of the attacks when the main opposition BJP would have almost certainly reminded the government of its "failure" to execute Qasab.

Some of the victim's reaction are in another BBC article; this says it all:

...the sense that someone has been finally held accountable for the deaths makes the sense of injustice slightly more bearable than before.

Sir,

The Dengue issue is all over the Indi-Pak mainstream(very mainstream) and social media. I think the Indian Government should not have done it in secrecy given South Asia's propensity towards conpiracy theories.

Kasab died due to high BP and cholesterol, thanks to all the rich food served to him. After he was found dead, they hanged his dead body just to show that he did not die due to natural causes!

Nonetheless- one less terrorist on this planet, and it was long due!!!
