India's home ministry Tuesday recommended the rejection of the mercy petition of Pakistani terrorist and 26/11 lone survivor Ajmal Kasab.
The mercy petition to the president, made by Kasab after the Supreme Court upheld his death sentence, has been rejected and the recommendation in this regard forwarded to the president, a home ministry spokesman told IANS.
Kasab was one of 10 Pakistanis who sailed into India from Pakistan and landed at Mumbai to launch the Nov 26-29 mayhem, which left dead 166 people, including many foreigners.

Now that the Union Home Ministry has recommended to the President of India for the rejection of the mercy claim by Kasab,the lone survivor in the 26/11Mumbai carnage in a record time, the President is expected not to take his own time, though no time limit has been provided in the Constitution, to pass final orders rejecting Kasab's mercy claim thus facilitating his exeuction as ordered by the Courts. This is a fit case where there could be no delay in executing this terrorist. It is hoped that Mr.Pranab would act swiftly.Similarly, another terrorist Guru's mercy petition also deserves to be rejected by the President quickly.
