Among the many rights our constitution has bestowed upon us is the right to fair trial. A right that gives every criminal a chance to give explanations for his act.This right is the acid test of a democratic country. Ajmal Amir Kasab the very man who is responsible, among other things ,for making people scared to live in Mumbai, also can exercise this right. i don't know how 'fair' this concept of a fair trial is in the given situation. How can a man who has murdered so many people justify or even try to explain his actions! A lawyer will be appointed for him, from the taxes paid by the citizens of the very city he set out to kill ! How is it fair that the terrorist gets a chance to get away with his act and the people who paid the taxes don't get any protection from him?
Is a trial like this one , which will probably show the world that Indian criminal law treats all criminals alike giving them a chance to justice, fair to the citizens who lost not just their loved ones but also security? and is it fair to the armed forces who lost many of their able men trying to defend their country?!
the unfairness of it all is perversely amusing .!
