Yesterday morning when i was going through Times of India, i came to know about the Special court's verdict on 26/11 Mumbai attacks.I came to know that Ajmal Kasab will be hanged till death as per the court verdict. However the decision was well expected.
But, i dont know there was something which is bugging my mind , when i find people celebrating after the verdict, i saw a tea vendor at railway station is celebrating after the verdict, a group of people shouting slogans against ajmal kasab, and public prosecutor for kasab case, ujwal nikam is also in joyous mood. There is no doubt in cout's decision about his death sentence, he deserves the same. But there was no reaction of People when 76 CRPF men were killed by naxals. I didn't find any reaction when union civil aviation minister’s daughter used her influence to change the schedule of a flight for her personal benefit and that too for some IPL purpose, which makes lots of Air India passengers suffer and people at our own country involved in scams and controversies and holding the posts of ministers. We have the persons having charge of murder but holding the Post of state’s chief minister. The list is long enough.
But, none of us thought that , what was the circumstances which made Ajmal kasab a real life villain. When i browsed through the details of Ajmal kasab , i came to know that , he hails from a poor family from a small village of Pakistan's Faridkot .His father makes a living selling dahi puri while his elder brother Afzal, 25, works as a laborer in Lahore. He left home after a fight with his father in 2005. He had asked for new clothes on Eid, but his father could not provide them, which made him angry. He then became involved in petty crime with his friend Muzaffar Lal Khan, soon moving on to armed robbery. In December 2007, Bakr-Eid day, they were in Rawalpindi trying to buy weapons when they encountered members of Jama'at-ud-Da'wah, the political wing of Lashkar-e-Taiba, distributing pamphlets. After a brief chat, they decide to sign up for training with the Lashkar-e-Taiba, ending up at their base camp, Markaz Taiba. From here his journey started with terrorism.
I would like to make my point clear once again that i am not against the court’s decision of death sentence to kasab, but i just want to raise the point that , it was circumstances which lead to become a poor village boy to become a Ajmal Kasab. And for these circumstances the leaders and rule makers of Pakistan are responsible. Pakistan gets aid of millions of dollars from united states every year. If youths from villages assured of shelter, food and house , they will never join terrorism. But for their worse condition politicians and rulers from Pakistan are only responsible. We don’t know where those million dollars are gone. There was no other option for a poor village boy to earn his bread and butter. Same was the case with kasab, it was his circumstances which compelled him to join the terrorist group. The case is not so different in our own country india . politician here also blow their own trumpet. They do whatever they want to do. They invest their money in high profile event like IPL. They use their position to take advantage in govt. Matters. How a union minister, who is a public servant of high order can invest a money in events like IPL, which undirectly drags the Indian rupee outside the Indian territory. The same ministers stated few months earlier that airlines economy classes are like cattle class. I just want to raise the issue that what are the immediate measures taken by govt. to counter the issue of Naxalism after mass killing of 76 CRPF Persons. What are the legal action taken by authorities against that union minister who backs the IPL, what are the actions taken against aviation minister’s daughter and minister, who makes hundreds of passenger suffer for the personal cause. The law of country is same for every citizen, then why nothing has been done against them. The list of such type of politician is very long.
Actually the ruler class or so called politician don’t want these problem to be sorted out. They want people to be crippled with lots of problems like inflation, unemployment, hygiene electricity and education, so that they remain busy with their own struggling lifes and don’t think about the govt. Machinery. They want issues and problem to be utilised for their vote banks, that is the reason they talk so much about caste reservations, religion and such issues which hits the sentiments of people easily. They know it very better , that good education, hygiene, employment will make people more aware and enlightened and then it will not possible to make people fool for their votes. If kasab was provided with good education and food for two times a day, there was no point for him to join the terrorism, and for this, the authorities and govt. Of Pakistan is responsible who is not able to provide him the basic life living facilities. If the condition will remain same , then lots of youth will turn into Kasab and problem will never be sorted out.
It was good to see the awareness in public regarding the Kasab case, but the same awareness is required for other incidents also. If people can celebrate at railway stations and market areas after court’s verdict, then people can also show their response against corruption and lethargic working of govt. Agencies. We should not forget that it was awareness of people in EUROPE commonly known as Renaissance which makes the industrial revolution possible and modernise the western countries. So the awareness is the need of hour to make our country self sufficient, well governed and terror free so that no more youth turn into Kasab.
