4 years ago he massacred over 200 lives in cold blood. While his companions were all killed he survived, recounting his barbaric crimes and that of his companies with zero repentance and he has been thriving on tax payers' money all this while, hopeful that the Govt of India would grant him mercy for his unpardonable crimes. But today the Supreme Court of India shut Amir Ajmal Kasav's last window of appeal upholding his death sentence for his role in the 26/11 attacks. Though the verdict comes with a major sense of vindication for the families of the deceased the question is, when will Kasav's sentence be executed? or will be just be another number on the death row?In a debate moderated by TIMES NOW's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami, panelists-- Mahesh Jethmalani, Senior Advocate and Leader, BJP; Ujjwal Nikam, Special Public Prosecutor; Farhang Jehangi, Survivor & Co-owner, Leopold; Dr Kuresh Zorabi, Survivor, Nariman House; Vikas Singh, Former Addl. Solicitor General; Bachi Karkaria, Author and Columnist; Nikhil Sehgal, Sabina's brother-- If Ajmal Kasav appeals for mercy, should Rashtrapati Bhawan dismiss it? Or at least decide on it immediately? Should President Pranab Mukherjee set a new precedent by wasting no time to decide on Kasavs mercy plea when it happens? And can Kasav become another statistic in the list of mercy petitions?
